Spokespeople for the three parties, Canary Island Coalition, the Socialist Party and the People's Party, promised Olga and Adriana they would analyze details of the legal process that ended in 2001 with long, harsh sentences for Five, even though it was never proved they had jeopardized U.S. security.

The party spokespeople agreed the men's human rights had been violated, and that the trial held in Miami, a stronghold of Cuban-American right-wing groups, was rigged and lacked solid evidences.

The Spanish politicians said they would look into the possibility of carrying out a concrete action and influencing the U.S. government to achieve the release of the Five.

Canary Islands as being part of Spain , which they are , which also makes them EU. So - don't be sarcastic because of their diminutive size.
