Puerto Rico Denounces U.S. Hypocrisy in Retaining Rene
Keeping in U.S. soil Cuban antiterrorist fighter Rene Gonzalez after serving 13 years of imprisonment depicts U.S. hypocrisy in its so-called "war against terrorism," political analysts stated in this capital.
Lawyer Alejandro Torres Rivera revealed the U.S. government's "open complicity" with hundred of terrorist actions to the detriments of Cuba, which have claimed thousands of lives over 50 years.
"The U.S. penal system's morbidity, well-known by Puerto Rican patriots who have been held decades in federal prisons, is revealed when Rene is prevented to return home," the lawyer and political analyst said.
Torres Rivera highlighted the limitations the Cuban antiterrorist fighter had "in the full exercise of his legal defense" during the first 17 months of his detention.
Journalist Nelson del Castillo amazes on how the United States obliges Gonzalez to stay three years more in that country, when he knows the danger it involves due to the impunity with which anti-Cuban terrorism acts in places such as Florida.
"While confess terrorist Luis Posada Carriles are freely walking the streets of Miami, Washington talks of war against terrorism in a hypocritical position," said Del Castillo, assistant general secretary of the Latin American Federation of Journalists (FELAP).
Cuba has been for decades victims of several aggressions without the U.S. government acts against terrorists such as Orlando Bosch, who was pardoned in 1990 by the then President George Bush (senior) for being responsible along with Posada Carriles for the explosion in midair of a Cubana de Aviacion airplane in 1976, which killed 73 people, he noted.
Social activist Raul Alzaga Manresa stated that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) treacherously used the test the Cuban government offered it to stop terrorist attacks from southern Florida.
Analysts condemned Rene Gonzalez' banning to return to Cuba, and the maintenance in prison of the other four antiterrorists, Antonio Guerrero, Fernando Gonzalez Llort, Gerardo Hernandez Nordelo and Ramon Labañino Salazar, for merely defending integrity of the Cuban people.
