The US economist John Cavanagh considered today an error the imprisonment of Cuban antiterrorists in his country for 15 years ago, for preventing the execution in the Island of violent plans and demanded president Barack Obama to release them.
Cavanagh sent a letter to the president and recalled that Gerardo Hernández, Antonio Guerrero, Fernando González and Ramón Labañino only expose the real threat of terrorism within US, reported the International Committee for the Release of those men.
They and their fellowcountryman, already released Rene Gonzaléz, were arrested in September 12, 1998, while monitoring violent groups in the South of Florida, where they were planning actions like that that on the last 53 years more than 1,400 people in Cuba.
The four anti terrorists are still serving sever sanctions while René Gonzalez was released in October 7, 2011, after serving his sentence and returned home last May after resigning his US citizenship to end an additional punishment of three years under supervised release.
According to the famous intellectual, Obama can change the situation by releasing the four others and, in that way, give the first step for a rapprochement with the government in Havana.
After commuting their sentences, two important questions will be addressed, in one part, a case of unfair sentence and in the other side will open the door to a new chapter in the relations between United States and Latin America, as an important step towards the re-establishment of relations with a key neighbour, he emphasized.
Cavanagh also referred to the tireless work of the deceased Academician Saul Landau, on the process of those fighters and the normalization of the links between the two countries.
Saul work in the case showed a terrible double standard of the US policy, assured the Director of the Institute for Political research in Washington DC.
