Raúl Castro Is Indicted and His Daughter Delivers a Defiant Message to Trump

Authorities said more than 200,000 people joined the rally as officials framed it as a show of support after the indictment.

  • On Friday, the Cuban regime gathered more than 200,000 citizens in front of the United States Embassy in Havana for what officials termed an act of "revolutionary reaffirmation."
  • This demonstration served as a coordinated response to the formal indictment of Castro on charges of murder, conspiracy, and destruction of aircraft 30 years ago regarding the Brothers to the Rescue planes.
  • Miguel Canel and Prime Minister Manuel Marrero attended the event wearing military uniforms, signaling a state of emergency or war as officials typically do on such occasions.
  • Mariela Castro, daughter of the former ruler, declared they are ready to "fight the enemy," insisting accusations against her father are lies and comparing the case to Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro's extraction.
  • While well-known Cuban spy Gerardo Hernández addressed the crowd with a letter from Castro, the central figure remained absent from the rally, marking a departure from his appearance at the last May Day mobilization.
