Castro lambasts US

Cuban president Fidel Castro called for a march to be held tomorrow outside the American mission in Havana to protest against new electronic signs on the building façade and accuse US officials of protecting his No 1 nemesis, jailed Cuban exile Luis Posada Carriles.

In a three-hour appearance on state television, Castro said the human rights messages should be broadcast to American officials, not Cubans.

“They should put those signs inside, not outside” the US Interest Section, Castro said.
