Canadian journalist Keith Bolender presents in Cuba Book with Testimonies of victims of terrorism.

CUBA, February 15th, 2011.- The president of the Cuban parliament Ricardo Alarcon attended the presentation today at the International Book Fair in Havana of a compilation of testimonies of victims of terrorism against Cuba by Canadian journalist Keith Bolender.

In the presentation of the book titled “Huellas del terrorismo. Sus víctimas hablan” (Voices from the other side), Alarcon reaffirmed the demand of victims of terrorism for those responsible for such criminal actions to be tried, referring specifically to terrorists Orlando Bosch and Luis Posada Carriles.

Alarcon said Bolender’s book enables the voices of victims of terrorism to be heard. He said the author opens doors that have been closed for a long time and brings to light people who have remained anonymous.

According to Alarcon the book is an important contribution to the battle fought in the field of communications where information is frequently manipulated.

Magaly Llort, wife of one of the five Cuban antiterrorist fighters imprisoned in the United States since 1998 thanked Bolender for putting together the book and added that it will be useful to spread the truth about the cause of the Cuban Five and achieve their release.

“Huellas del terrorismo. Sus víctimas hablan” published by the Jose Marti publishing house, is the translation into Spanish of the book published in English in 2010. The book contains interviews to victims and relatives of people hurt by Washington’s genocide policy against Cuba since 1959. (Cubaminrex-Embacuba Canadá  - ACN)
