Artemisa, December 3 (RHC)-- Activists from Sweden, the U.K., Finland, Denmark and Russia make up the 57 person strong contingent of the Nordic Brigade of Solidarity with Cuba, which arrived Monday in the western province of Artemisa.

The activists come to experience Cuba first-hand, which is being distorted or silenced in their own countries. The visitors, who will visit several community projects on the island, are scheduled to stay until December 22nd, said Swedish activist Lars Oberg.

They will also meet with relatives of the Cuban five said Luis Marron, an official with the Cuban Friendship Institute.

The solidarity brigade is also scheduled to visit several sites of interest in the provinces of Pinar del Rio, Villa Clara and Havana. They will also do voluntary work in citrus fruit plantations and in ongoing reconstruction of the Julio Antonio Mella international camp, where they are currently staying.

British citizen Jacn Haninaton said he was interested in taking a closer look at the cause of the five anti-terrorists, whom he has learned about on the Internet. Swedish Tara Alden said that since this is her first visit to Cuba, she is interested in learning about Cuban culture and hospitality of the Cuban people. She said that she expects to make friends here in Cuba to return each year to deepen her experiences.
