The dispatch released by the MIU emphasizes that thousands of Havana residents participated in the event to reject the indictment filed by the United States Department of Justice against Raul Castro, whom it accuses of the downing of two aircraft operated by the Miami-based organization Brothers to the Rescue over Cuban airspace in 1996.

The media outlet noted that President Miguel Diaz-Canel, minutes before the start of the event, declared: “For Cuba and for Raúl, we are at the Anti-Imperialist Tribune.”

The publication was accompanied by a photograph showing a large crowd gathered in support of Raúl Castro.

In addition, the newspaper published a video of the rally, recounted the reasons for the event, and mentioned the Cuban government’s response to recent actions and accusations from the United States.

Likewise, the digital news outlet Barrigaverde published a report from Telesur highlighting that the people reaffirmed that Raúl Castro “is Cuba and Cuba must be respected,” in rejection of the recent accusations issued by the United States.

Representatives of political and social organizations, including Juan Hubieres, president of the Rebel Movement, highlighted the massive mobilization in Havana on their social media accounts.
