Afro-Asian Peoples’ Solidarity Organization Statement

No to Double Standard Policy !

While the Five Cubans, who were engaged in anti-terrorist activities, are still unjustly kept in US prisons under rigorous and humiliating conditions, the notorious terrorist, Luis Posada Carriles, who masterminded the shooting down of the Cuban aircraft in 1976 causing the death of 73 people on board, has been freed on bail by the US authorities.

The freeing of the well-known terrorist Luis Posada Carriles is an irrefutable proof that has proven that the fight against terrorism carried out by the US administration and at the same time the harbouring of terrorists in its own soil, is a mere empty rhetoric intended to deceive the American and international public opinion, void of consideration about justice and human dignity.

The Afro-Asian Peoples’ Solidarity Organization has considered the move as a failure of the US administration to comply with the International Convention on Political and Civil Rights of which it is signatory, as well as other institutions associated with combating terrorism.

Luis Posada Carriles should be brought to justice and face trial immediately for the crime he has committed. He should respond to the suffering of the families of his victims and the huge physical and material damages he had caused.

No to double standard policy!
