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.
