WASHINGTON (AFP) — Attorneys for five Cubans sentenced in 2001 on espionage charges will file an appeal with the US Supreme Court on Thursday, a source close to the case told AFP.
The appeal is based on the case having been tried in Miami, which the defense argues is a city with a large population of anti-communist Cuban exiles who were biased against the defendants.
The Cuban spies had argued that they were monitoring Florida-based anti-Castro groups to prevent terrorist attacks on Cuba, and that their work was not directed against the U.S. government.
