Friends and Family of Carlos Muniz Varela Demand the Investigation be Reopened
Dateline: 8/29/05

On September 15, Nardelis Sanchez and other friends and family will hand deliver thousands of signed postcards to Justice Secretary Roberto J. Sanchez Ramos demanding the reopening of the investigation into the murder of Muñiz Varela, a Cuban travel agent who died from multiple gunshot wounds April 28th 1979 in Puerto Rico.

Activists claim that the murder was perpetrated by members CORU, an extreme right organization co-organized by Luis Posada Carriles and Orlando Bosch, which was opposed to trips to Cuba organized by Muñiz Varela in the hope of bringing Cuban exiles and their families closer together.

"The death of Carlos Muñiz Varela is a perfect example of political crime in Puerto Rico. Carlos’ was a victim of an attack financed and planned by extremist elements in the Cuban exile community in Puerto Rico," said Raul Alzaga Manresa, who co-owned the Varadero Travel Agency with Muñiz Varela.
