Castro Invites Newsmen to Havana Rally
Fidel Castro invited 380 newsmen and commentators from the United States and Latin America to a Havana rally on Wednesday to show support for the speedy trial and execution of Batista henchmen. He said U S congressmen who criticized the executions had also been invited. A plan to fly reporters to Miami was announced to facilitate attendance. The event aims to present the truth of Cuba’s actions to the world and quell recent misunderstandings, with a Havana crowd expected to back the regime. The Catholic bishop of Havana endorsed executions, though he personally opposes capital punishment, noting it is justified in this case. About 20 revolutionaries gathered in Central Park as women farm workers carried banners demanding ongoing executions.
