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.
