US Complicity in Cuba Attacks
 Prensa Latina
| | Cubans sit under a graffiti that reads "Free our five heroes" in Havana. |
United Nations - The US government´s blind eye to terrorist actions on Cuba was underlined Tuesday as a proof of its complicity with groups hostile to Havana from southern Florida.
"There is no aggression or terrorist action against Cuba committed by those people that Washington doesn´t know about," US lawyer Claudia Morcom told Prensa Latina.
In a recess after speaking at the human rights sub-commission at the United Nations, Morcom said terrorists like Luis Posada Carriles and Orlando Bosch have carried out violent actions against Cuba supported by Washington.
The US lawyer said those terrorist groups maintain an atmosphere of hostility and coercion in the city of Miami, Florida, where the trial against five Cuban anti-terrorist fighters whose only crime was to prevent terrorist actions against their country took place.
"The detention and trial of these five Cubans showed duplicity and hypocrisy of the struggle against US government terrorism," said Morcom.
According to her, the action against Antonio Guerrero, Fernando Gonzalez, Gerardo Hernandez, Ramon Labañino and Rene Gonzalez is "a violation of the International Convention on Political and Civil Rights."
The US lawyer highlighted irregularities committed during the Cuban Five proceedings and stated that, from her viewpoint, these men were deprived of a fair and unbiased trial. |
