Story Highlights

 

    Illich Ramirez Sanchez was convicted in 2011 for instigating four

bombings in France

    He was convicted of triple murder in 1975

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) - A lawyer representing the convicted terrorist

known as "Carlos the Jackal" is urging Venezuela's government to demand that

France return her Venezuelan-born client to his homeland.

 

Attorney Isabelle Coutant-Peyre says Venezuela should press for the

repatriation of Illich Ramirez Sanchez on the grounds that he was illegally

detained in Sudan in 1994 before he was convicted in 2011 for instigating

four bombings in France in 1982 and 1983 that killed 11 people and injured

more than 140 others.

 

Ramirez has previously been convicted for a triple murder in 1975. He is

serving two life sentences.

 

Coutant-Peyre told one of Venezuela's state-run radio stations on Sunday

that she hopes to meet with government officials to discuss the matter.

for determining whether the use of a work in any particular case qualifies

as a "fair use". A work used does not necessarily have to satisfy all four

criteria to qualify as an instance of "fair use". Rather, "fair use" is

determined by the overall extent to which the cited work does or does not

substantially satisfy the criteria in their totality. If you wish to use
