PROTEST IN NYC THE RELEASE OF TERRORIST LUIS POSADA  
Friday, May 11, 6pm
26 Federal Plaza

4/5/6 to Brooklyn Bridge, 1/2/3/A/C/E/J/M to Chambers, N/R to City Hall
**Nationally-coordinated May 11 protests taking place in El Paso and elsewhere!**

Luis Posada Carriles is a long-time admitted and convicted terrorist, trained by
the CIA in explosives and sabotage to carry out attacks on Cuba. He is
responsible for the murder of 73 people in the 1976 bombing of a Cuban airliner,
and for Havana hotel bombings in the 1990's that killed an Italian tourist. In
the 1970s, as an official in the DISIP,  Venezuela's "intelligence" police, he
tortured and murdered Venezuelan activists.

In Panama, Nov. 2000, he led a group of terrorists to try to assassinate Fidel
Castro with 33 pounds of C-4 explosives, which if successful, would have also
killed hundreds of students where Castro was due to speak.

In March 2005, Posada illegally entered the United States, and has been treated
with kid gloves since then by the Bush administration. On April 19, Posada was
freed on bail and flew immediately to Miami, despite being recognized as an
unrepetant terrorist and danger to the community.

The Bush administration refuses to honor Venezuela's extradition request, where
Posada planned the plane bombing. And since U.S. Attorney General Alberto
Gonzales refuses to classify him as a terrorist, Posada is awaiting trial only on
immigration fraud. Judge Kathleen Cardone ordered Posada's release on bond until
his El Paso trial on May 11.

On Friday, May 11, when Posada is returned to El Paso for trial, people across
the U.S. and around the world will hold protests demanding justice. The main
protest will be in El Paso, and we'll have a protest here in New York City.

EXTRADITE POSADA, FREE THE CUBAN FIVE!

While anti-Cuba terrorists like Posada are free, the U.S. government has
persecuted, convicted and sentenced the Cuban Five, five men who were peaceably
monitoring the actions of Miami terrorists like Posada, to stop their attacks. We
will demand the Cuban Five's freedom on May 11 as well.
