Segunda Carta a Obama del Comité de Familiares de las Víctimas de la voladura del avión cubano en Barbados.

Sr. Barack Obama
Presidente de los Estados Unidos de América
El pasado 5 de octubre del 2010, en vísperas del 34 aniversario del asesinato de nuestros seres queridos, el Comité de Familiares de las Víctimas de la voladura del avión cubano en Barbados le envió una carta a usted, en la cual reclamaba que su gobierno procediera a encausar como terrorista a Luis Posada Carriles.

Lamentablemente, no hubo una respuesta oficial a esa misiva y la amenaza terrorista creíble en contra del pueblo de Cuba ha cobrado vigencia con el fallo absolutorio dictado por una corte de El Paso, Texas, en favor de Posada Carriles.

La farsa judicial que absolvió a un asesino confeso y un terrorista en activo, revela el carácter injusto de la prisión que guardan en cárceles de Estados Unidos los cinco luchadores antiterroristas cubanos.

No cejaremos en el empeño de exigir que el gobierno de los Estados Unidos honre los tratados internacionales y las resoluciones de la ONU, que en materia de lucha contra el terrorismo ha suscrito.

Sr. Barack Obama, insistimos en que si los Estados Unidos no tienen la voluntad de encausar a Luis Posada Carriles como el terrorista que es, debe entonces permitir su extradición a Venezuela, país al que le asiste el derecho de procesarlo en su condición de prófugo de la justicia.

El 29 de octubre de 2010 en ocasión de una comparecencia especial suya para alertar al pueblo de los Estados Unidos ante una amenaza terrorista creíble, UD solicitó la confianza del pueblo de su país y le reiteró que no dejaría de luchar contra “el extremismo violento en todas sus formas”.

Sr. Obama, con todo respeto le decimos que la confianza no se pide, se gana y UD aún no ha sido acreedor de la confianza de los que aspiran y esperan que desaparezca el flagelo del terrorismo.

¡Exigimos Justicia!

Comité de Familiares de las Víctimas de la voladura del avión cubano en Barbados.

SECOND LETTER SENT TO OBAMA BY THE COMMITTEE OF RELATIVES OF THE VICTIMS OF THE CUBAN AIRLINER BLOWN-UP OFF BARBADOS.

Mr. Barack Obama
President of the United States of America

On October 5, 2010, on the eve of the thirty fourth anniversary of the assassination of our loved ones, the Committee of Relatives of the Victims of the Cuban Airliner Blown-up off Barbados sent you a latter calling for your government to convict Luis Posada Carriles for being a terrorist.

Unfortunately, there was no official response to that letter, and the credible terrorist threat against the people of Cuba is now back in force after the judgment of acquittal ruled by a court at El Paso, Texas, in favor of Posada Carriles.

The judicial farce that acquitted a confessed assassin and active terrorist reveals the unjust nature of the imprisonment sentences that are being served by five Cuban antiterrorists in US prisons.

We shall not cease in our efforts to demand that the government of the United States should honor all international treaties and UN resolutions against terrorism it has subscribed.

Mr. Barack Obama, we insist that if the United States is not willing to prosecute Luis Posada Carriles for being the terrorist that he in fact is, then it should acquiesce in his extradition to Venezuela, a country with the right to prosecute him in his condition as fugitive.

On October 29, 2010, on the occasion of your special appearance to warn the US people against a credible terrorist threat, you asked the people of your country to be confident and reiterated that you will never cease “to confront violent extremism in all its forms.”

Mr. Obama, will all due respect, we tell you that that confidence is not to be asked for; it is to be earned. And you have not been worthy of the confidence of those who hope to see an end to the scourge of terrorism.

We demand justice!

Cuban Young Anti-aircraft Artillerymen: Dying for the Homeland Is Living (+ video)

The history of the struggle for the Cuban independence has always been characterized by the devotion of the youth for their homeland. The Cuban anti-aircraft artillery young men demonstrated this when they faced the US-sponsored attacks on the airports of San Antonio de los Baños, Ciudad Libertad and Santiago de Cuba on April 15th, 1961.

In those aerial bombings, eight young people died; among them was Eduardo García Delgado, who wrote FIDEL with his own blood shortly before his death. (Taken from the giron863 YouTube Channel)
