Cuba president denounces unrest as a ‘lie’

Cuba's President Miguel Diaz-Canel yesterday denounced what he said was a false narrative over unrest on the Caribbean island, speaking during a rally alongside ex-president Raul Castro and before thousands of supporters in Havana. 

"What the world is seeing of Cuba is a lie," Diaz-Canel said, denouncing the dissemination of "false images" on social networks where they "encourage and glorify the outrage and destruction of property."
