NANCY B. KOHN
"The Cuban Five: in U.S. Prisons for Opposing Terrorism"

Nancy Kohn is an active member of the International Committee for the
Freedom of the Cuban Five, as well as the local July 26th Coalition. She has
visited Cuba four times since 1996, most recently as a participant with the
21st Pastors for Peace Friendshipment caravan in July and August.

In a September letter to President Obama, well-known North American actors
and artists stated: "We are dismayed that the Cuban Five, who have committed
no crime against the United States nor posed any threat to this country's
national security, have now been imprisoned for 12 years. The Five monitored
the activities of violent groups of Cuban exiles in Miami, activities that
had already resulted in the deaths of thousands of Cuban nationals. They
sought simply to protect their country from further acts of terrorism." Come
hear background and updates on the case in a presentation dedicated to the
memory of Rev. Lucius Walker, founder of Pastors for Peace.
