A sign of change has been asked by Ricardo Alarcón to the North American president, Barack Obama and this should start  with the liberation of the five Cuban anti-terrorists in US jails and the arrest of infamous terrorists in that country.

  During a speech before the National Assembly of Venezuela, Alarcon affirmed that President Barack Obama can, should and has the moral, political and legal obligation to apply constitutional authority and free the five Cuban anti-terrorists.

Ramon Labañino, Fernando Gonzalez, Antonio Guerrero, Gerardo Hernandez and Rene Gonzalez have been in prison for 11 years for gathering information about extremist groups in the United States which were plotting to launch terrorist actions against Cuba.

Obama who spoke of a new beginning in relations with Cuba should begin with that. If they remain in jail, this would only confirm the same policy of state terrorism against Cuba, Alarcon noted.

The president of the Cuban National Assembly requested Obama that, instead of promoting militarism and building military bases to send a signal to the peoples of Latin America who wait: free the five and arrest Luis Posada Carriles and Orlando Bosch.

He recalled that these two terrorists of Cuban origin participated in actions such as blowing up a civilian Cuban passenger plane in 1976, several crimes in Venezuela and Central America and Posada ordered placing bombs in Havana.

However, Alarcon pointed out, five years after the request of extradition of Posada by Venezuela for killing 73 persons onboard a Cubana flight intending to charge him for a minor crime such as lying to an immigration official.

The Venezuelan National Assembly expressed its solidarity with the five Cuban anti terrorists upon receiving Alarcon and families of the jailed Cubans.

Parliamentary president, Cilia Flores called attention to the incongruence that five are jailed in a country self proclaimed fighter of world terrorists and those who fight those actions.

Silence will not silence the struggle for the liberation of the five heroes nor will silence win the battle, Flores assured giving her world to the family members of the five anti terrorists and Cuban parliamentary president.

Solidarity is stil the main strongold for the Cuban Five who have faced a wall of silence about their case.
