Thousands of people assembled outside the U.S. embassy in Havana on Friday to protest the U.S. indictment of former Cuban leader Raúl Castro for the 1996 downing of two civilian aircraft. Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel and Prime Minister Manuel Marrero attended the event, which began at sunrise; the 94-year-old Castro did not appear. The indictment was issued on Wednesday and concerns murder charges tied to the incident 30 years earlier.
