Tens of thousands of Cubans rallied Friday in Havana to denounce the #Trump administration’s indictment of former President #RaúlCastro and threats to attack the island nation, whose socialist government has been preparing its citizens to defend their homeland and revolution against #US aggression.

“No disrespect is shown to the heroes of the homeland!” Cuban President #MiguelDíazCanel said as people flooded the streets outside the US Embassy in #Havana. “History and traditions are not insulted without a response! That does not happen in #Cuba."

Thousands of Cubans gathered at #Havana’s José Martí Anti-Imperialist Tribune on Friday after the US Department of Justice indicted #Cuba’s former President #RaúlCastro over the 1996 shoot-down of two small planes operated by pilots of the #Miami-based group #BrothersToTheRescue.

“We had the right to defend ourselves,” said Adalgisa Durán Vargas, referring to repeated warnings Cuba made to the #US about repeated provocative incursions into Cuban airspace made by Brothers to the Rescue to provoke a confrontation with the Cuban government.

At the rally, speakers defended Raúl Castro’s historic role in the Cuban Revolution and questioned the legitimacy of the US accusations nearly three decades after the fact.

Video - Rubio Says There’s No Oil Blockade on Cuba. Cubans Disagree

#US Secretary of State #MarcoRubio posted a video on May 20 addressed directly to the #Cuban people, claiming the blackouts have nothing to do with the US #OilBlockade.

We took to the streets to #Havana to see what people thought of his speech. Most hadn’t seen it.

“It’s just that I despise Marco Rubio so much that it’s not even worth listening to anything he says,” said Lucía Miret, 76, a retired teacher.

Most of those who saw it, rejected Rubio’s claim.

“It’s no secret to anyone that the blockade exists,” said Daimara Pérez, a doctor. “If the blockade didn’t exist then they should let the ships in.”

Raúl Castro’s Indictment and Washington’s Double Standard on Terrorism

The Justice Department is set to indict former Cuban President #RaúlCastro today over the 1996 shoot-down of two #BrothersToTheRescue planes — a case that has been a politically charged flashpoint in US-Cuba relations for nearly three decades.

So far, the coverage by corporate media outlets has left out critical context: repeated provocations and incursions, numerous warnings by Cuban authorities, years of violent attacks against Cuba originating from South Florida and the #US government’s refusal to restrain an extremist group openly seeking confrontation.
