Sri Lankan  parliamentarian condemn the acquittal of terrorist Posada Carriles.

SRI LANKA, April 18, 2011. - A large representation  of parliamentarians from all Sri Lankan political forces issued a statement denouncing the verdict of not guilty  issued on April 8  by  the jury in the  Posada’s case in  El Paso, Texas. MPs say in  their  statement that, “this is not only a travesty of justice, but also a negation of the anti-terrorist stance of the USA”.  

The statement, which recounts the terrorist actions in which Posada has been involved goes on to say that it is shocking that while a US Court  exonerates Posada, a proven terrorist,  five Cuban antiterrorist fighters  remain unjustly imprisoned in the USA serving unjust sentences imposed on them  by trying to collect information on terrorist activities of people like  Posada who today freely walk  in the streets of Miami. The statement concludes that it is no surprise that in this context the U.S. and the West are preparing a case for "war crimes" and "crimes against humanity" against the Sri Lankan government. The question is, said the statement, which is  truly for and  against terrorism.  (Cubaminrex - Embassy of Cuba Sri Lanka).
