Hurricane Gustav Left Cuban Territory without victims
PINAR DEL RIO, Cuba, Aug 30 (acn) The eye of hurricane Gustav left Cuban territory through the La Palma municipality in this province, after inflicting considerable damage in western Cuba.Civil Defense officials in Pinar del Rio said the most significant events during the passage of the hurricane included its strong winds, which at some points reached 300 kilometers per hour, with a severe impact on house roofs and other infrastructure.Rainfall accumulates were only over 50 millimeters in localities like Viñales and Bahia Honda, while no several injured people have so far been reported, despite the devastating force of the Hurricane during its passage on the locality of Paso Real de San Diego. However, while the eye of the hurricane abandoned the national territory, winds will continue to blow for the next hours particularly in the eastern part of the western province.

Americas Parliament for the Cuban Five
Caracas, Aug 30 (Prensa Latina) Vice President of the Andean Parliament, Yanet Madrid, said she was sure the 8th Assembly of the Parliamentary Confederation of the Americas (COPA) will support the five Cuban anti-terrorists held in US prisons.The five men were condemned to prison sentences from 15 years to double life after their arrest in 1998 when they were infiltrating anti-Cuban groups operating from southern Florida."I am completely certain the issue will be on the table," the Venezuelan told Prensa Latina, alluding to a resolution recently approved in Panama to be presented at COPA in September in Mexico.The declaration supports Gerardo Hernandez, Ramon Labanino, Antonio Guerrero, Fernando Gonzalez and Rene Gonzalez, and has already received support from the Latin American, Central American and Caribbean Parliaments."We want their rights to be respected and their families allowed to visit," she said.Flor Maria Rios, president of the National Assembly's Women's Commission, said her constituents are fully committed to the cause of the anti-terrorists and demand their complete liberty.The Venezuelan deputy also said the COPA assembly will address the extradition of terrorist Luis Posada Carriles, wanted by Havana and Caracas for his involvement in the detonation of a Cuban civil aircraft in 1976.

Si la desigualdad mata, los gobiernos que la favorecen son asesinos
Que la desigualdad mata, lo dice la OMS, aunque sea obvio. Y que los gobiernos que favorecen la desigualdad son unos asesinos, se sigue de lo anterior. ¿Empezamos a llamar a las cosas por su nombre?
