Court Rejects Cuban Five Ruling

HeadlineAug 10, 2006

There has been a major development in the case of the Cuban Five. A federal appeals court has overturned an earlier ruling they deserve a new trial. The men were arrested in 1998 and convicting of spying for the Cuban government three years later. They maintain they were sent to the United States to monitor violent exile groups calling for the overthrow of Fidel Castro. They have remained in prison despite last year’s ruling overturning their convictions.
