The Canadian Union of Public Employees, Canada’s largest union, has written to U.S. President Barak Obama demanding release of the Cuban Five.
"We are appealing to you for the release of the men known as the ‘Cuban Five’," explained the letter, which was sent on April 12, 2010. "After so many years, it is time for action. It is time to release these men and ensure their safe passage home to their families in Cuba."
