A demonstration in Havana with thousands of people in a show of support for the Cuban revolution

THOUSANDS of Cubans took to the streets in defence of their revolutionary government on Saturday as President Miguel Diaz-Canel vowed to defend the country from outside interference.

“We are going to put our hearts into Cuba — together we can — because Cuba is love, peace and solidarity,” he said.

Demonstrations took place in the capital Havana and other cities in a rejection of the messages circulating on social media aimed at destabilising the country.
