British Court of Appeals Rules that Rene González Can Visit Britain

London- An historic ruling by the British Court of Appeals in London has opened the door for Cuban Hero René González to visit the UK, despite twice being denied a visa by the British government in 2014.
René González is one of the five Cubans who served long sentences in the United States for attempting to prevent terrorist attacks by infiltrating Florida-based groups responsible for violent actions against Cuba.
René’s second invitation to Britain was issued by members of parliament, requesting that he attend a meeting in Parliament to discuss the case of the Cuban Five. After the British government denied him an entry visa, a group of 28 lawmakers appealed the decision, stating that the Home Office was violating the European Convention on Human Rights.In a unanimous decision, the Court of Appeals ruled on Tuesday November 10th, that the refusals breached the freedom to receive and impart information under Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights. The judges also refused to let the Home Office appeal against their decision at the Supreme Court.Rob Miller, Director of the Cuba Solidarity Campaign in Britain, welcomed the news, saying: “This is a great victory for all those who campaigned for freedom and justice for the Cuban Five. We hope that this decision means we can now look forward to welcoming Mr. González, the other four heroes — Gerardo Hernández, Ramon Labañino, Fernando González and Antonio Guerrero — and their families in Britain as soon as possible.”
