On March 29 2014 eight student groups at Columbia University in New York City hosted a meeting on the fight to free the Cuban Five. Some 200 people heard from a panel of speakers that included Martin Garbus, lead attorney for the Five; Rodolfo Reyes, Cuba’s ambassador to the U.N.; Julio Escalona, Venezuela’s deputy ambassador to the U.N.; and Luis Rosa, Puerto Rican independence fighter and former political prisoner. Civil rights attorney Michael Warren and N.Y. Casa de las Américas President Nancy Cabrero co-chaired the meeting. Ike Nahem gave remarks on behalf of the July 26 Coalition, which along with Casa and the Popular Educational Project to Free the Cuban Five endorsed and helped promote the event. Last week’s issue included an article on the meeting. This week the Militant is printing talks by students Randolph Carr, Imani Brown, David Luna and Gerardo Romo. Carr and Brown refer in their presentations to a successful fight waged by the students to prevent the university administration from imposing strict limits on attendance from outside the campus on the pretext of “public safety.” While dozens were turned away, most of those who wanted to attend from outside the university were able to do so.
