Mireya Moscoso pardons terrorists
PANAMA CITY.—The government of
Panama has pardoned four terrorists sentenced to
eight years’ imprisonment for conspiring to
assassinate Cuban President Fidel Castro, the
national press announced today Thursday, according
to EFE and Notimex.
Luis Posada Carriles, Guillermo
Novo Sampol, Pedro Crispín Remón and Gaspar Jiménez
Escobedo left the Panamanian capital in a strict
security operation in the early hours of this
morning – possibly en route to Miami – after
receiving a pardon from Mireya Moscoso, president of
Panama, according to the RPC radio, quoting
high-ranking officials.
In spite of warnings by Cuba and
protests from many sectors of Panamanian society,
President Mireya Moscoso has gratified the Miami
terrorist mafia and its protectors in the George W.
Bush government, by releasing that group of killers,
all with a lengthy criminal record, in violation of
Panamanian law.
