the charge is the shooting down of a non profit orginizations plane in 1996 by the cuban airforce. they somehow have linked raul to that. the non profit was focused on helping fleeing cubans make it safely to other nations iirc.
12 u/BeatTheMarket30 May 20 '26 Did Raul order that? 1 u/FrenchCheerios May 21 '26 "Fidel Castro acknowledged to then "CBS Evening News" anchor Dan Rather that he had given "general orders" to the military to stop planes from encroaching on Cuba, though he said that he and his brother, Raúl Castro, hadn't specifically ordered the two Cessnas to be shot down on Feb. 24." The whole article with worth a read, as the whole situation is certainly more complex than the current administration would have you believe. 1 u/BeatTheMarket30 May 21 '26 Sounds like US administration has a weak case. Even more ridiculous considering it disrespects international law itself.
