Cuban youth rally outside US embassy in Havana over US indictment of Raúl Castro

Cuba's Union of Young Communists, student organisations and youth movements have all called for a mass rally in front of the US Embassy in Havana. The gathering is being slated as a show of defiance against—and condemnation of—the US Justice Department’s indictment of former Cuban leader Raúl Castro and to show support for the Cuban government. The indictment is the latest in a series of escalating tensions between the two countries.
