The abominable crime in Barbados that claimed the lives of 73 people, due to the attack on a Cubana de Aviación aircraft in mid-flight, including the members of the Cuban junior fencing team, will be evoked in the Guantánamo Province in several events in all municipalities.
The information provided by Georlis Mustelier Garbey, provincial deputy director of Sports, indicates that the events will take place on October 5 in the municipality, while in the province on October 6, at the Sports Initiation School (EIDE) whose students and teachers will be accompanied by a hundred students from the IPVC José Maceo Grajales.
The tribute includes a visit by the provincial sports department to the families of Juan Duany González and Ramón Infante García, two of the three Guantanamo residents who died in the criminal sabotage of the Cuban aircraft in Barbados.
The crime of Barbados, as the explosion of the Cubana de Aviación aircraft is known, is considered one of the most brutal acts of terrorism perpetrated against the Cuban Revolution by people at the service of the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
Orchestrated by notorious terrorists Luis Posada Carriles (1928-2018) and Orlando Bosch (1926-2011), the action killed 24 members of the Cuban junior fencing team who were returning to their country after competing at the 4th Central American and Caribbean Fencing Championship, held in Venezuela.
An estimated 57 Cubans, 11 Guyanese, and five citizens of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea were killed in that explosion.
