It's a loaded question: no court can handle a 50+ years old political question, which generations of politicians tried to address. Can we leave this issue for later? When the recovery kicks in? Thanks. dj

>>Castro Sued for Rights Abuses Friday, October 5, 2001 BRUSSELS Cuban exiles, invoking Belgium's war crimes law, filed a lawsuit against President Fidel Castro on Thursday for crimes against humanity. The complaint, which covers alleged false imprisonment, murder and torture, was handed to an investigating judge at the Brussels criminal court. He will decide whether the case against the 75-year-old Communist leader is admissible. "No one is above the law and that applies in particular to Castro because for more than 40 years, he has tortured 100,000 of his countrymen," said Larry Klayman, a U.S. lawyer representing 10 plaintiffs. The case is being brought under a law that grants Belgian courts the right to prosecute perpetrators of human rights abuses and war crimes, regardless of nationality and the location of the crimes.<< iht.com
