Former Cuban President Raúl Castro was indicted on murder charges relating to the downing of two civilian planes in 1996. In response, Cuban officials and state-run media have shown solidarity with Castro, portraying him as a heroic figure.
The indictment charges Castro with four counts of murder. This development poses a significant challenge for the former leader, who was also Cuba’s defense minister for nearly five decades.
Despite no longer holding formal positions of power, Castro remains influential in Cuba. His indictment by the United States comes as part of efforts to pressure the Cuban government, yet experts believe it may strengthen Cuban resolve to resist U.S. influence.
Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel publicly expressed support for Castro, sharing affectionate sentiments. State-run media platforms showcased images of Castro during various stages of his life, emphasizing his national significance and integrity.
