Cuba: Events to mark anniversary of Castro’s death

Event

Various events will be held in the coming days to commemorate the first anniversary of the death of Fidel Castro. The events are being held over a ten-day period that began on November 25, notably in the capital Havana and the city of Santiago. On December 3, a cultural event will be held in Havana’s central Plaza de la Revolución. The following morning, a pilgrimage march will depart from the plaza at 07:00 (local time) towards the city of Santiago.

Small anti-Castro protests are possible. Any protest will likely be immediately broken up by police, who could use force.
