Cuba's former leader Raul Castro appeared at an event shown on state television on Friday in the elder statesman's first public appearance since his indictment on murder charges last month in the United States.
The Trump administration has accused the former defense minister of ordering Cuban military jets to shoot down planes operated by a group of Cuban exiles in 1996, a major escalation in Washington's pressure campaign against the island's communist government.
