Cuban Youths Stage Posada Mock Trial

HeadlineMay 15, 2007

In Cuba, youth groups are holding a two-day mock trial against the former CIA operative Luis Posada Carriles for the 1976 bombing of a Cuban airliner that killed 73 people. Posada was scheduled to go on trial in the U.S. last week, not on terror charges, but for immigration fraud. But a U.S. federal judge tossed out the indictment, making Posada a free man. This is Margarita Morales Fernandez, daughter of a victim who died in the plane attack.

Margarita Morales Fernandez: “I don’t like talking about death. I don’t like to talk about terrorism. But I do it precisely because I know that at some point we will get justice. The North American people can no longer be lied to.”
