The chair of the United Nations (UN) Latin American and Caribbean Group (Grulac), Venezuelan Deputy Darío Vivas, regretted Wednesday the release of anti-Castro activist Luis Posada Carriles and reported on a resolution passed at Grulac against the move.

"The Venezuelan government will insist on the extradition of Luis Posada Carriles as there is need to fight against injustice and impunity. Therefore, we will continue requesting the US Government to honor the undertakings given under the laws on extradition and international agreements. At the same time, we would like the US Government to stop being double-faced and surrender him once and for all to face trial."

Vivas said that in the face of such actions, the US Government supports both terrorists and conspiratorial and subversive movements from all around the world.

"We have seen how the release of Luis Posada Carriles by President George W. Bush's Administration encourages terrorist practices. We have seen how here in Venezuela, in these days, a person was captured when placing an explosive device," he commented.

"We feel that such practices are sponsored by the United States."

Posada Carriles, 79, was freed Tuesday, following a decision by Judge Kathleen Cardone of El Paso, Texas. She found that the evidence produced by the US Attorney Genral was not valid for migration fraud.
