FBI Keeps the Heat on Rican Independentistas

With the 1 year anniversary of the murder of island independence leader Filiberto Ojeda Rios approaching on Saturday, the same federal agency responsible for his death is keeping the pressure on activists. Earlier this week the FBI decided to pay a visit to the homes of indpendence activists Liliana Laboy and the house of Norberto Cintron Fiallo in the San Juan area.

FBI spokesman Harry Rodríguez said the agents went to the homes as part of an ongoing investigation into the Macheteros, also known as the Puerto Rican People's Army. He declined to provide details or say whether agents planned to arrest the activists or search their homes.

More than likely the feds want to get a head start and make people feel afraid so that they don't hit the streets in memory of Filiberto. Rallies are planned for Saturday throughout Puerto Rico and here in the United States.

Estos separatistas son unos llorones. Tienen periódicos, participan en radio y TV, tienen publicaciones hacen mítines dondequera (y siempre ha sido así), pero se la pasan diciendo que los persiguen. ¡Asesinos ridículos!
