300,000 rally in Cuba against U.S. embargo

A huge crowd rallied in Manzanillo July 1 to protest the U.S. embargo and the Cuban Adjustment Act, which promotes risky attempts to emigrate to the United States outside legal channels. "Whoever is the next president of the United States should know that here is Cuba with its ideas, its example and the rebelliousness of its people; that all aggression and all attempts to strangle us or bring us to our knees will be defeated," said President Fidel Castro in a message to the rally.
