ABD, Raul Castro'yu Cinayetle Suçladı; Çin 'Büyük Sopayı' Kınadı
ABD Adalet Bakanlığı, eski Küba lideri Raul Castro hakkında 1996 yılında sürgün gruplarına ait iki sivil uçağın düşürülmesiyle ilgili cinayet suçlamaları içeren iddianameyi açıkladı. Miami'deki federal savcılar tarafından hazırlanan iddianame, Trump yönetiminin Küba üzerindeki baskısını artırma hamlesi olarak değerlendiriliyor. Olayda dördü ABD vatandaşı toplam dört kişi hayatını kaybetmişti. Suçlamaların açıklanması, Washington ile Havana arasındaki zaten gergin olan ilişkileri daha da germe potansiyeli taşıyor. Daha önce Venezuela Devlet Başkanı Nicolas Maduro'nun benzer şekilde ABD'ye getirilerek yargılanmasına atıfla, Castro'nun da ileride yargılanmak üzere ABD'ye transfer edilebileceği yorumları yapılıyor. Ancak Küba hükümeti suçlamaları reddediyor. Çin ise bu adıma sert tepki göstererek, ABD'yi 'büyük sopa' politikası izlemekle suçladı ve Küba'ya uygulanan 'yetkisiz yaptırımları' kınadı. Pekin yönetimi, egemen devletlerin içişlerine müdahaleye karşı olduğunu vurgulayarak, uluslararası hukuka saygı çağrısında bulundu. Bu gelişme, ABD-Çin rekabetinin Latin Amerika'daki bir başka cephesini daha gün yüzüne çıkarıyor.

US plans to charge Raul Castro increases Trump administration’s pressure on Cuba
The United States is expected to unseal criminal charges against former Cuban leader Raul Castro on Wednesday in a move that could further deepen tensions between Washington and Havana and inject new strain into an already volatile regional relationship. Multiple US media outlets, citing US Justice Department sources, have reported that federal prosecutors in Miami are preparing an indictment tied to Cuba’s 1996 shooting down of two civilian aircraft operated by the Miami-based exile group...

Trump administration charges Cuba's Raul Castro with murder
Trump administration charges Cuba's Raul Castro with murder Yasmine El-Sabawi on Wed, 05/20/2026 - 19:15 This sets the stage for Castro to potentially be brought to the US to face trial in the way President Nicolas Maduro was abducted from Venezuela Cuba's President Raul Castro, centre, talks to Nicaragua's President Daniel Ortega, left, and Ortega's wife Rosario Murillo during a wreath-laying ceremony at the mausoleum of 19th-century Cuban independence hero Jose Marti in Santiago de Cuba, Cuba, on 26 July 2013 (Alejandro Ernesto/Reuters) Off The US has unsealed an indictment against Cuba's former president, Raul Castro, charging him with conspiracy to kill US nationals, destruction of aircraft, and four counts of murder related to the 1996 shootdown of two American aid planes close to the island. Five other defendants are named: Lorenzo Alberto Perez‑Perez, Emilio Jose Palacio Blanco, Jose Fidel Gual Barzaga, Raul Simanca Cardenas, and Luis Raul Gonzalez‑Pardo Rodriguez. The move sets the stage for 94-year-old Castro to be brought to the US to face trial, potentially via the same "law enforcement operation" that the Trump administration employed to capture former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. President Donald Trump repeatedly boasts of the January 2026 mission as a critical victory for his government, despite its legally dubious nature. He has also openly suggested that Maduro's swift extraction emboldened him to launch the 28 February war on Iran, alongside Israel. "We indict men outside of this country all the time, and there's all kinds of different ways that we get them here," acting attorney general Todd Blanche, who previously served as Trump's personal lawyer, told reporters at a press conference in Miami, Florida. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); "The reason why we indict somebody is because we want them here to face justice with a jury of their peers. How we go about doing that obviously depends on the circumstances in the case, and I'm not going to go beyond that, but...this isn't a show indictment. This is an indictment because we expect that there is a warrant issued for his arrest, so that he will show him[self] here by his own will, or by another way." Ramped up pressure Cuba's president, Miguel Diaz-Canel, said on X on Wednesday that the indictment "reveals the arrogance and frustration that the representatives of the empire feel towards the unyielding resolve of the Cuban Revolution and the unity and moral strength of its leadership". Cubans face darkest hour as US blockade strangles island Read More » He called the move a "political maneuver, devoid of any legal foundation, aimed solely at padding the fabricated dossier they use to justify the folly of a military aggression". The charges mark the latest step by the Trump administration to ramp up pressure on Cuba's government to effectively submit and surrender, given the island has been a keen focus for Secretary of State Marco Rubio, whose parents are Cuban. On Monday, Rubio launched yet another round of sanctions on Havana. The island has been sanctioned and blockaded by the US since the 1960s, squeezing its financial system and energy grid. In January, Trump signed an executive order declaring Cuba "an unusual and extraordinary threat" to the US and imposed tariffs on any country selling goods or oil to the island nation. The president has previously said he would "have the honour of taking Cuba". "Whether I free it, take it, I think I can do anything I want with it…They’re a very weakened nation right now." Brothers to the Rescue On 24 February 1996, the Cuban air force shot down two Cessna aircraft belonging to the Miami-based Brothers to the Rescue aid organisation, which had previously carried out missions to save Cubans trying to escape their country by sea. The group was formed by Cuban exiles who fiercely opposed the Cuban government and its former leader, Raul's brother, Fidel Castro. Four men aboard the planes were killed: Carlos Costa, Armando Alejandre, Jr, Mario de la Pena, and Pablo Morales. In a statement released on Wednesday, the US Department of Justice said Cuban intelligence agents infiltrated Brothers to the Rescue and relayed detailed information about its flight operations back to the Cuban government. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The White House has always denied that the group had any ties to US intelligence, but Cuba believed its main agenda was to destabilise its government. "My message today is clear: The United States and President Trump does not and will not forget its citizens," Blanche said on Wednesday. If convicted, the defendants face a maximum penalty of death or life imprisonment on the murder and conspiracy counts. Castro, in particular, faces up to five years in prison for each count of destruction of aircraft. The sentencing of any defendant, however, is ultimately determined by a judge.

China condemns US ‘big stick’ over Castro charges and ‘unauthorised’ sanctions on Cuba
China condemned the US on Thursday for charging former Cuban leader Raul Castro as the Trump administration escalates pressure on the island’s socialist government. The remarks follow US announcements on Wednesday of criminal charges against Castro regarding the 1996 downing of two civilian planes flown by Miami-based exiles which killed four people, including three Americans. China “firmly opposes” illegal unilateral sanctions that lack a basis in international law and are not authorised by the...
