Henry Padron on The Cuban Five and Luis Posada Carriles

ROCLA’s March program
March 2
7:00 PM
Downtown Presbyterian Church
121 N. Fitzhugh Street

Henry Padron will show a new documentary about The Cuban Five, five Cuban men who are in US prison, serving four life sentences and 75 years collectively, after being wrongly convicted in US federal court in Miami on June 8, 2001.

He also will bring us up to date on the case of Cuban-born Luis Posada Carriles, who has been involved in various terrorist attacks and plots in the Americas, including involvement in the 1976 bombing of a Cuban airliner that killed seventy-three people.

Background on The Cuban Five, from the FreetheFive.org website:

The Five were falsely accused by the U.S. government of committing espionage conspiracy against the United States, and other related charges. But the Five pointed out vigorously in their defense that they were involved in monitoring the actions of Miami-based terrorist groups, in order to prevent terrorist attacks on their country of Cuba. The Five’s actions were never directed at the US government. They never harmed anyone nor ever possessed nor used any weapons while in the United States.

Background on Luis Posada Carriles. In 2005 The National Security Archive posted documents that show that "the CIA had concrete advance intelligence, as early as June 1976, on plans by Cuban exile terrorist groups to bomb a Cubana airliner. The Archive also posted another document that shows that the FBI's attache in Caracas had multiple contacts with one of the Venezuelans who placed the bomb on the plane, and provided him with a visa to the U.S. five days before the bombing, despite suspicions that he was engaged in terrorist activities at the direction of Luis Posada Carriles."

Posada has admitted involvement in a string of bombings in 1997 that targeted fashionable Cuban hotels and nightspots( Wikipedia).
The caribbeannetnews/AFP reported that he was on the CIA payroll for at least ten years, according to documents made public May 10 by the National Security Archive at George Washington University in Washington.

For more than 40 years, anti-Cuba terrorist organizations based in Miami have engaged in countless terrorist activities against Cuba, and against anyone who advocates a normalization of relations between the US and Cuba. More than 3,000 Cubans have died as a result of these terrorists’ attacks.

Terrorist Miami groups like Comandos F4 and Brothers to the Rescue operate with complete impunity from within the United States to attack Cuba—with the knowledge and support of the FBI and CIA.
