Yamil Eduardo Martinez and Yudith Camps Alejo have lived all their lives suffering the effects of an illegal blockade of their country by the US. Martinez, 40, and Camps Alejo, 27, are Cuban trades unionists.
Cuba Solidarity Campaign is hosting their visit to Britain, where they are on a speaking tour aimed at building solidarity links between young union activists in the two countries, raise support for an international campaign against the blockade - which was imposed by the US after the 1959 Cuban revolution - and gather support for demands for the release of the Miami Five.
