On the 20th, the US Department of Justice released a superseding indictment formally accusing 94-year-old former Cuban leader Raúl Castro, along with 5 other Cuban-related defendants. The US accuses them of involvement in the February 24, 1996, action by the Cuban military to shoot down two unarmed US civilian planes of the "Brothers to the Rescue" group. Raúl faces charges including one count of "conspiracy to murder US nationals," four counts of "murder," and two counts of "destroying aircraft."
On the 22nd, Reuters reported that after the US charged Raúl, thousands of Cubans held a rally in front of the US Embassy in Havana in support of Raúl. Cuban President Díaz-Canel, Prime Minister Marrero, as well as Raúl's daughter, son, and grandson acting as his personal security detail, attended. His family stated that Raúl is "doing well, very calm, like an old guerrilla."
Today, the official Cuban newspaper published an article stating that Cuba "has not threatened any neighboring country with invasion, blockade, or overthrow of its government" and described the recent US military and political pressure on Cuba as a threat from the north.
