VOICED : Cuba rinde primer homenaje masivo a Fidel Castro

Thousands of Cubans gathered in silence at the Plaza de la Revolución to pay their respects to Fidel Castro, who passed away at 90. The memorial at José Martí featured a floral altar, but Castro's ashes were not displayed. The tribute will last a week, including a 1,000-kilometer procession through Cuba, ending in Santiago de Cuba. The event marks a significant moment in Cuban history, as Castro led the country for 48 years before stepping down due to illness. The Cuban dissidents have paused any protests out of respect for the national mourning.
