"The Bush administration must be held responsible."
From El Paso TX to Washington to New York, multiple demonstrations
For immediate release-- May 09, 2007 Gloria La Riva, coordinator of the National Committee to Free the Cuban Five, said that the protests in El Paso and elsewhere, planned for Friday, May 11-when Luis Posada Carriles' trial was scheduled-will continue, despite the dropping of immigration fraud charges against him.
"The U.S. government's handling of the Posada case is shameful. It is obvious that the Bush administration has been preparing for Luis Posada Carriles' release since March 2005, when he entered illegally.
"Posada, a self-admitted terrorist who has murdered dozens of people, including 73 passengers ona civilian plane, walks away free to join his terrorist accomplices in Miami.
"Yet, the same Bush administration and prosecutors that refuse to charge or even accuse Posada of terrorism, instead keep the Cuban Five anti-terrorists in U.S. prisons."
Ramsey Clark, Cynthia McKinney will be in El Paso
