THE Canadian coalition Venezuela We Are With You, comprised of more than 40 political and socio-cultural groups, has demanded the extradition to Venezuela of Cuban-born terrorist Luis Posada Carriles, according to Prensa Latina.

Activists from Montreal, Toronto and Quebec delivered a document containing that demand to María del Pilar Hernández, Venezuelan deputy minister of foreign relations, and to that country’s ambassador in Canada, Jesus Arnaldo Pérez.

The letter, addressed to President Hugo Chávez, supports the demand for Posada’s extradition presented by Venezuela to the United States, describing him as a "murderer at the service of imperialist terrorism."

Posada is responsible for blowing up a Cuban passenger plane in 1976, killing 73 people, and in 1985 he broke out of a Venezuelan jail to avoid facing trial for that crime.

The letter, reprinted by the Venezuelan online publication Aporrea, also calls for the arrest and trial of Orlando Bosch, "another criminal of the same gang orchestrated by the CIA."

It notes that Bosch, together with Posada, is responsible for several crimes, as well as the terrorist attack on the Cubana Airlines plane.

The document likewise condemns the assassination attempts on the Venezuelan president, which, it affirms, "the empire and the CIA are planning."

It declares that such plans are a desperate attempt to use assassinations to stop the anti-imperialist advances by the peoples, the Bolivarian government and the Cuban Revolution, the Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas and the projects for Latin American integration.

The Venezuela We Are With You Coalition affirmed that with those actions, the US rulers will only further expose themselves as an armed gang dominating the fate of that superpower and believing that they are the owners of the world.
