The Lebanese have joined the campaign promoted by the International Committee of Solidarity with the Cuban Five of sending postcards to President Barack Obama on the Five and requesting visas for Olga and Adriana, the wives of two of them, whom visas have been always refused by the American authorities prohibiting to met theirs husbands during the more that ten years of captivity in American jails.
As Alicia Jrapko, member of the International Committee of Solidarity with the Five, explained, the postcards are printed with the faces of the Five and the phrase used by the U.S. president during his election campaign: "Yes, we can" as well as the text addressed to Obama and the signature of the sender; that’s allow millions of people to be in contact with the message before reaching the hands of its high destinatary or its partners, helping to spread the cause of the Five and win supporters to fight to restore the truth.
From Lebanon, already one thousand postcards has been set; the Lebanese Committee for Solidarity with the Five work every day to contribute to made possible that "Yes, we can" and the five could return to their motherland.
