Cubans gather before US embassy in Havana to protest Raul Castro indictment
Thousands of Cubans gathered to denounce the indictment and show support for Raúl Castro as officials warned of U.S. intervention fears.
- On Friday, thousands of Cubans gathered before the U.S. Embassy in Havana to protest the U.S. indictment of former leader Raul Castro, with President Miguel Diaz-Canel attending the demonstration.
- The indictment, announced Wednesday at Miami's Freedom Tower, connects Castro to the 1996 military attack on two Brothers to the Rescue planes that killed four people.
- Waving flags just 144km from U.S. shores, participants chanted "Viva Raul!" and "Patria o Muerte," while lawmaker Gerardo Hernandez quoted the absent 94-year-old former leader vowing to remain at the Revolution's forefront.
- Cuba dismissed the indictment as "spurious" allegations intended to justify invasion; meanwhile, President Donald Trump moved a Navy aircraft carrier into the region, denying it was intended to intimidate Cuba.
- Concerns are growing in Cuba that the U.S. could attempt to apprehend Castro, similar to the operation used against Venezuelan leader Maduro, though Trump stated he aims to help the Cuban people on a humanitarian basis.
