Thousands in Cuba Protest Imprisonment of Spies by the US

Thousands of Cubans gathered in Havana to protest the continued imprisonment of five Cubans, in the US.

They waved yellow balloons, wore yellow clothes, and tied yellow ribbons to the their homes and trees.

The five, initially six, were arrested on September 12, 1998 and were convicted of spying on US military facilities and exile groups.

Cuba has always denied that they were spies, but acknowledged they were keeping an eyes on exiles.

One of the six spies was released and deported to Cuba, in 2011, after he renounced his US citizenship.

Another is set for release in February, however the other four have no set release date, at this time.
