World Petition for Posada Trial

Havana, Apr 16 (Prensa Latina) On Monday 
personalities of the world demand US President 
George W. Bush try international terrorist Posada 
Carriles for the crimes he really committed or 
agreed on his extradition to Venezuela.

The pronouncement was written by the Argentinean 
Adolfo Perez Esquivel, US citizens Noam Chomsky, 
Alice Walker, Cindy Sheehan and Danny Glover, 
Brazilians Oscar Niemeyer and Frei Betto, the 
Uruguayan Eduardo Galeano and the French-Spanish 
Manu Chao, among other personalities.

Prensa Latina prints below the whole text of the 
call of the Network in Defense of Humanity:

"Posada Carriles must be tried for his crimes"

While in the name of the struggle against 
terrorism hundreds of thousand of persons have 
been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan and others 
who have been arbitrarily arrested are tortured 
in Abu Ghraib in Guantanamo, the US government 
protects the most famous terrorist of the western 
hemisphere, trying to deceive public opinion with 
many pseudo-legal manoeuvres and refusing to charge him for his real crimes.

Luis Posada Carriles was accused and had an 
unfinished trial in Venezuela for a 1976 attack 
against a civil plane where 73 people died. After 
he escaped from Venezuelan prisons in 1982 he 
worked for the CIA service in the well-known 
Iran-contra operation and the genocidal operation 
Condor. In 1977 he prepared a series of terrorist 
attacks on Havana hotels and in 2000 he planned 
to kill President Fidel Castro in Panama University and so on.

In March 2004 Posada Carriles illegally entered 
the United States and only after reiterated 
denunciations of his illegal presence there, the 
George W. Bush government arrested him and 
charged him for immigration crimes, without referring to terrorism.

US authorities have shown double morality in 
their war on terrorism, in which they torture, kidnap and bomb.

The signatories demand the US government fulfill 
its international obligations, charge Posada 
Carriles for all his crimes or accept the Venezuela request of extradition.
