US Organizations Will Protest Posada Carriles’ Trial for False Swearing

CUBA, Jan 23, 2010. - Members of several US organizations will lead a public protest against terrorist Luis Posada Carriles on the morning of Monday, March 1, the day he will be tried just for perjury rather than for his terrorist acts.

The protest was summoned and organized by the US Free the Five National Committee of the A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition along with other groups to expose the actual crimes committed by Posada, Prensa Latina reported.

In a press release issued by the Free the Five Committee, its members highlighted that the responsible for the mid-air blowing up of a Cuban airliner off the coasts of Barbados in 1976, when 73 people were killed, will be taken to court just for lying under oath.

The protestors will demand the extradition of Posada to Venezuela, where he would answer for the premeditated murder of 73 people in a court of law.

In addition, they will claim for the release from jail of five Cuban anti-terrorist fighters imprisoned in the United States since 1998: Gerardo Hernandez, Ramon Labañino, Antonio Guerrero, Fernando Gonzalez and Rene Gonzalez, known as the Cuban Five. (Cubaminrex - acn)
