Summit
Demands Posada Extradition
Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt - The 15th Non Aligned
Summit (NOAL) backed Thursday Venezuela''s
extradition demand of terrorist Luis Posada Carriles
for shooting down a Cubana Airlines plane killing 73
passengers.
The Sharm El-Sheikh meeting expressed support of
Caracas's demand to the US government to hand over
the person responsible for the October 1976 crime.
The document rejected protection of individuals
accused of commiting criminal acts in Venezuela,
violating resolutions of UN Security Council and its
General Assembly to avoid all forms of terrorism.
The refusal to extradite Posada Carriles, added the
text, hinders the Venezuelan authorities' efforts to
put him before the court.
According to the final document of the 15th Summit
the Movement urged Washington to fulfill the demand
for Posada Carriles extradition under charges of
terrorism in Venezuela.
The Heads of State also declared themselves in favor
of Constitutional President Hugo Chavez against what
they considered an aggressive policy of the White
House.
According to the final text of the Summit the South
American people have the right to elect their own
form of government and determine the economic,
social and political system without any interference
from abroad.
The declaration of the Summit also added concern for
the increasing intelligence activity against
Venezuela and Cuba and decried attempts and recent
plots against President Hugo Chavez life.
The Summit ended with a Final Declaration, the Sharm
El-Sheikh Declaration and special documents against
the blockade of Cuba, solidarity with Palestine and
Nelson Mandela International Day. |
