Margarita Morales, daughter of Alfredo Morales
Diego, coach of the Cuban national youth fencing team that was
on board the Cubana airliner that was blown down 33 years ago,
asked American president Barack Obama to make justice on behalf
of the 73 innocent victims of this terrorist attack masterminded
by Posada Carriles and Bosch.
Speaking on behalf of the families of the
victims, Margarita said Obama can release the five Cubans
antiterrorists and imprison the terrorists who killed “their
fathers, brothers and sisters and young people from Guyana who
where flying to Cuba to study.”
Posada Carriles and Orlando Bosch walk the
streets of the United States as free men, in spite of the fact
that it has been confirmed before the international community
that the CIA was acquainted with the operation to destroy the
Cuban plane in mid air and, however, it did not do anything to
halt the plan.
A peregrination and meeting in homage of the
victims of the Barbados Crime and of all terrorist actions
against the Cuban people along the 50 years of Revolution took
place in the Pantheon dedicated to the Revolutionary Armed
Forces in the Colon cemetery in Havana.
Among participants in the ceremony was the mother
of the captain of the CU 455 Cubana Airlines plane that was
blown off, América Pérez Díaz (92), and Justino Di Celmo, father
of a young Italian man who was killed during a 1997 series of
terrorist attacks against several Havana hotels.
In order to avoid such crimes, five Cuban men,
known as the Cuban Five, penetrated Miami-based groups who have
been responsible for these and other similar crimes committed
against the Cuban people. For that reason, the U.S. government
has kept them imprisoned since 1998.
