✊ 🇨🇺 Eleven years ago today, the remaining three imprisoned members of the Miami Five were finally freed after spending 16 years unjustly behind bars in the US.
Their release, a huge victory for the Cuban people, followed years of tireless campaigning and solidarity work.

Oxford City Councillor Ottino had some home truths for Sid, in a debate on Thames Water.
