[Tamara Hansen]

Dear Friends and supporters of Cuba;

The following letter was sent to the US Congress, care
of US President George W Bush to arrive on Monday
August 29th, the day of anti-Cuban terrorist Luis
Posada-Carilles's immigration hearing in Texas.

This letter serves as a short cover letter for a
collection of the originals of 1,005
petition-signatures collected in and around Vancouver
through the months of July and August demanding 'no
asylum in the US for Posada-Carilles' and 'Extradite
Posada-Carilles to Venezuela now.' 

We hope the delivery arrives in time for the
international day of action this Monday!

Re: 	Collection of petition signatures for the
extradition of Luis Posada Carriles to Venezuela


In this package you will find 1,005 names signed to
petitions demanding that Luis Posada 
Carriles not be granted in asylum in the United States
of America and that he must be extradited 
to Venezuela.

These petitions have been circulated by volunteers who
are concerned with the threat that the 
admitted terrorist Posada-Carriles poses to people in
Cuba and throughout Latin America, as well 
as to people in the US and Canada and around the
world. 

The petitions that you find in this package are the
result of just over one month of volunteer work 
in neighbourhoods and communities around Vancouver, BC
Canada. 

These more than 1,000 signatures have been collected
in support of the demand, “
that this 
confessed and convicted terrorist not be granted
asylum by the US government and must be 
extradited to Venezuela.”

We understand that today, August 29th 2005,
Posada-Carriles will stand before US courts in a 
hearing regarding immigration issues. We assure you
that we, along with millions of people in 
the US, Canada and around the world are closely
watching this hearing and anxiously awaiting 
the extradition of Posada-Carriles to Venezuela.
