More than 1,000 people from almost 50 countries will accompany the Cuban people in marches nationwide on May Day, International Workers Day. Demands that will be heard during those marches include the immediate release of the five Cuban antiterrorists held in US prisons for more than 12 years, said Ermela Garcia, member of the National Secretariat of the Central Organization of Cuban Workers. May Day march organisers said the event would also back the economic and social policies recently approved by the 6th Congress of the Communist Party in Cuba, which met this past week in Havana. In Havana, the parade will be led by the education workers union, and the final bloc of marchers will be made up of young people.
