The Puerto Rican Prisoners of War and Violations of their Human Rights
Publisher: United Church of ChristFormat: MonographCollection: Puerto Rico Small Books and Monographs
The Puerto Rican independence movement and other advanced sectors of our people view the POWs as patriots. And that is how they have been viewed since the 19th Century. Great historical figures have been characterized by their defense of our prisoners of war. The US wants to sow the idea that those who use armed revolution as an organized means of resistance, as anti-colonial protest, as prolonged people\'s war, as the seizure of power, as an act of self-defense against aggression which have included assassinations of independence activists or any other means of struggle, are terrorists. Estados Unidos quiere sembrar la idea, de que los que utilizan la revolucion armada como resistencia organizada, como protesta anticolonial, como guerra prolongada, como toma de poder, como acto de defensa propia ante agresiones de asesinatos a independentistas, o como cualquier otra forma de visualizar la lucha, son unos terroristas. El independentismo y los sectores mas alertas del pueblo no lo ven de esta forma. Lo ven como deben verlos, como patriotas. Y asi han sido visualizados desde el siglo XIX. Grandes personalidades de nuestra historia se caracterizaron por la defensa a los prisioneros de guerra. Photographs. 40 pages
