Thousands of Cubans participated this Sunday in a pilgrimage to Havana to commemorate the 48th anniversary of the event known as the Barbados crime, when counterrevolutionaries encouraged by the Government of the United States (USA) blew up a commercial plane from the largest of the Antilles in mid-flight, near the coast of the aforementioned Caribbean island, and caused the death of its 73 travelers.

The pilgrimage took place at the Colón Cemetery, in Havana. Representatives of Cuban political and social organizations, family members of the victims of the attack and diplomats from Caribbean nations attended.

The Cuban athlete, multiple medalist in Olympic and world events in the discipline of canoeing, Yarisleidis Cirilo, recalled details of the episode, considered one of the most brutal expressions of State terrorism promoted by the White House against revolutionary Cuba.
