At UN, Cuba Denounces Terrorist Impunity in US

United Nations, Nov 14 (Prensa Latina) Cuba has denounced the impunity
enjoyed in the United States by several confessed terrorists who,
lacking scruples, have committed numerous bloody acts against Cuba.

The issue was addressed on Wednesday by Cuban Ambassador to the United
Nations Rodrigo Malmierca, during a Security Council debate, where he
referred to freedom granted to Luis Posada Carriles and Orlando Bosch,
responsible for the blowing up of a Cuban plane in mid flight in 1976,
killing all 73 people on board.

The Cuban diplomat also referred to freedom enjoyed in the USA by
terrorist Crispin Remon, who is responsible for the assassination of
Cuban diplomat Felix Garcia and, two decades later, tried to
assassinate President Fidel Castro in Panama.

In contrast, he accused the US government for holding five Cuban
anti-terrorist fighters in US prisons, although they were only trying
to gather information about Miami-based terrorist groups in order to
prevent their violent actions and save the lives of Cuban and US
citizens.

He made the point that it is impossible to eliminate terrorism if some
such acts are condemned while others are kept quiet, tolerated,
justified or simply manipulated for political interests.

"We again demand the immediate release of Gerardo Hernandez, Ramon
Labanino, Fernando Gonzalez, Antonio Guerrero and Rene Gonzalez, all
anti-terrorist fighters who have been kidnapped in US prisons for
almost ten years," he stressed.
