Venezuelans Tortured by Posada Carriles Collect Evidence

[dipsydoodle]

Caracas, Jan 24 (Prensa Latina) Venezuelans tortured by Luis Posada Carriles are collecting evidence of his crimes, hoping to bring U.S.-protected terrorist to justice someday, according to news reports.

Victims of the former CIA agent and of the Venezuelan political police have gathered 80 recorded testimonies on human rights violations committed by Posada Carriles between 1967 and 1974, the newspaper Ciudad CCS reported Monday.

Those materials corroborate his astonishingly cruel crimes in that country, the source adds, and his responsibility for the explosion of a Cuban airliner in October 1976 with 73 people onboard.

Venezuelan victims of torture during repression of leftist and student movements also have police files with conclusive evidence on the case, the article said.

1. I ran across discussion of his torture record years ago, too. You can be sure the U.S. knows,

but, as we have learned, torture is just fine with the U.S., as long as the person being tortured isn't from the U.S., or at least the U.S. right-wing! Didn't seem to be a problem when the guests of honor for torture and assassination in Chile were Charles Horman, and Frank Terruji, clearly, etc., etc., etc.

If I ran across incidents of his history ordering torture in Venezuela, you can be sure the US knew far far more, from the first.

The challenge will be to make the evidence so public the government will feel it's necessary to do something about it to at least explain their position.

He claims he fears torture if he is returned to Venezuela. It's his CONSCIENCE bothering him, since he has first hand knowledge that HE himself tortured people there when he worked for Carlos Andres Perez. For ####ing shame.
