Another Nobel Prize winner condemns
felony committed by U.S. justice system
Harold Pinter joins demands to
imprison and try the mastermind of the Cubana de
Aviación sabotage, as do González Casanova and
Ramonet
BY PEDRO DE LA
HOZ—GRANMA DAILY STAFF WRITER—
BRITISH playwright and Nobel Literature Prize winner
Harold Pinter has condemned the felony committed by
the U.S. justice system in releasing Luis Posada
Carriles and eluding his trial on charges of
terrorism.
For the last eight days, a document initially signed
by 150 intellectuals and now backed by 2,500 people,
including the likewise Nobel Prize winners Adolfo
Pérez Esquivel and Nadine Gordimer, has been
demanding a criminal court trial for the mastermind
of the sabotage of a Cuban passenger plane in full
flight off the coast of Barbados, or his immediate
extradition to Venezuela.
Pinter, who considers the George W. Bush government
as the most dangerous regime that has ever existed,
more dangerous than that of Nazi Germany itself
given the extension and depth of its activities and
intentions all over the world, has added his name to
a demand also supported in the last few hours by the
eminent Mexican sociologist Pablo Gónzalez Casanova,
Mexican academic John Saxe Fernández, Puerto Rican
writer Luis López Nieves, German economist Elmar
Altvater, and Paraguayan professor Martín Almada, a
victim of Operation Condor.
From Paris, the eminent writer Ignacio Ramonet,
announcing his adherence to the call, stated that he
was up to date on the despicable act and ready to
“join the protest.”
