CUBA, April 16, 2007.- 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.
