Los Angeles Protest & Press Conference

Extradite Terrorist Posada Carriles! Free the Cuban Five!

Join the A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition and other organizations on Friday, May 11, at 12 noon at the Downtown Federal Building for a protest and press conference to demand that the U.S. government extradite the terrorist Luis Posada Carriles. The Bush administration's extreme hypocrisy in its so-called "war on terror" cannot go unchecked. May 11 is the first day of Posada's trial in El Paso.

Luis Posada Carriles is an admitted and convicted terrorist, trained by the CIA in explosives and sabotage to carry out attacks on Cuba. He is responsible for the murder of 73 people in the 1976 bombing of a Cuban airliner, and for Havana hotel bombings in the 1990's that killed an Italian tourist. In the 1970s, he tortured and murdered Venezuelan activists.

On Friday, May 11, when Posada is returned to El Paso for trial, people across the U.S. and around the world will hold protests demanding justice. The Los Angeles protest is coordinated with all of these actions.

While anti-Cuba terrorists like Posada are free, the U.S. government has persecuted, convicted and sentenced the Cuban Five, men who were peaceably monitoring the actions of Miami terrorists like Posada, to stop their attacks. We also will demand the Cuban Five?s freedom on May 11.

At the protest, we'll have speakers, banners, chanting and placards with photos of victims of the 1976 Cubana plane bombing. Come out on May 11 to demand extradition for Posada and freedom for the Cuban Five now!

Initiated by A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition. Co-sponsors: National Committee to Free the Cuban Five, Latino Movement USA, Southwest Organizing Project, National Network on Cuba and others.
