Nobel Peace Prize winner Adolfo Pérez Esquivel demanded the full release and return to Cuba of anti-terrorist Rene Gonzalez, as well as the liberation his four compatriots unfairly imprisoned in the United States.
«We hope the U.S. Congress, people, and President Barack Obama act with dignity for the good of justice, truth, and the peoples’ rights,» the outstanding human rights activist stressed.
In a message made public in Buenos Aires, the president of the Peace and Justice Service in Argentina emphasized that the release of Antonio Guerrero, Ramon Labanino, Gerardo Hernandez, Fernando Gonzalez, and Rene Gonzalez is the clamor of the peoples who fight for a fairer, friendly world for all.
Using sovereignty and self-determination of the peoples as pretext, the United States aims to subdue other countries by force, leaving democracy and the United Nations itself meaningless and without values, the text reads.
In the name of human rights, the U.S. government violates them systematically in its country and abroad, causing destruction and deaths; and in the name of democracy, those people who demand respect for their rights are chased, the document added.
«Using the anti-terror fight as pretext, the United States practices State terrorism, invades other countries, tortures, murders, and violates the rights of peoples,» the message denounces. (Prensa Latina).
