Havana - Cuban President Fidel Castro has called on the people of Havana to stage a giant march on January 24 in front of the US Interest Section (USINT), in response to new Washington provocations.
The march will be broadcast live through Cubavision, Educativo and Cubavision International channels, Radio Rebelde and Radio Habana Cuba beginning at 8:00 local time, according to a note released Monday by Granma daily.
In a special TV appearance Sunday evening, the Cuban leader recalled US authorities will review that day the residential status of infamous Cuban-born terrorist Luis Posada Carriles, amid versions of his imminent liberation.
Fidel Castro denounced the US government´s steps to release him and made a chronology of what happened since he arrived on US territory in March last year.
Posada Carriles, currently detained in favorable conditions in that northern nation, is responsible for the explosion of a civil plane in Barbados airspace in October 1976 that killed 73 people.
The White House, said the statesman, has never responded the Cuban question on the illegal entry of the confessed criminal to United States, and ignored the Venezuelan request of his extradition due to his crimes.
The Cuban leader in his TV appearance last night also went over the subversive activities carried out by USINT chief Michael Parmly since his arrival to Havana.
These include a screen with messages designed to provoke viewers here in another destabilization effort by that nation.
The messages, originally taken from Martin Luther King and the UN Declaration on Human Rights, are an "outrage and grossly violated by the US every day," stated the Cuban head of State. |
