Cubans gather before US embassy in Havana to protest Raul Castro indictment

Thousands of Cubans gathered on Friday before the U.S. embassy in Havana to protest a U.S. decision to indict former leader Raul Castro in the downing of two civilian airplanes 30 years ⁠ago.

The pro-government demonstration, which began shortly after sunrise on Havana's waterfront, comes as Cuban officials rallied this week around the island's former president and revolutionary hero.

Cuba says Castro's indictment on murder charges ⁠on Wednesday was based on "spurious" allegations designed to serve as a pretext to invade the nation amid ⁠a Trump administration push to upend the island's government.

Cuban president Miguel Diaz-Canel and ⁠Prime Minister Manuel Marrero attended the rally, the 94-year ⁠old Castro did not.
