Subject: [Cuba SI] VIEQUES PROTESTERS STOP U.S. NAVY/NATO BOMBING!
In responce to the island of Vieques, Puerto Rico being used once again for
military rehearsals and naval target practice, in the early morning hours on
Tuesday, October 17, a group of residents decided to enter the restricted
bombing range in order to block the military exercise. Military rehearsals
have halted as a result of the action of protesters.
The U.S. Navy along with the militaries of other N.A.T.O. countries, at the
invitation of the Pentagon, have been preparing in recent days to use the
island for this exercise. It is apparent that these rehearsals are part and
parcel of military plans which the U.S. and N.A.T.O. have in relation to
events now taking place throughout the world.
The action of the protesters is initiated by the Committee For The Rescue &
Development Of Vieques, who have been waging a struggle against the 60 year
long imposed U.S. Navy occupation on the island. The CRDV has stated that
they will hold the Pentagon responsible if the lost of life results from any
decision to proceed with the bombing rehearsals. The protesters made it
known that they will continue their acts of defiance until the U.S. Navy
withdraws from
the territory.
Vieques is an island municipality of Puerto Rico which the Pentagon uses for
the rehearsal of its Atlantic and Southern Command operations. Puerto Rico
is a colony of the United States that was militarily invaded in the 1898
Spanish American War.
