Hundreds salute Fidel

Issue 

SYDNEY — "Viva Fidel" was the sentiment of the night as 350 people took part in a solidarity fiesta in support of the Cuban Revolution and its central leader Fidel Castro on August 13 — Castro's 80th birthday.

Cuba solidarity activist and NSW Teachers Federation executive member Bob Treasure gave the main toast, highlighting the impressive achievements of the Cuban Revolution in the fields of education, health, criminal justice, organic agriculture, international solidarity, and in many other areas.
