FALL 2012 Calendar of Events and News

Howard Law School Public Forum:

The Cuban Five have been imprisoned in the United States for nearly 14 years and are not widely known. Yet, the outcome of their case will have a profound impact on the U.S. justice system and U.S.–Cuba relations. At the heart of their struggle is the fundamental and constitutional right of a defendant to a fair trial, and the right of Cuba to defend itself from terrorism. There is a movement in the United States and worldwide to demand their freedom.
