An estimated 1 million people marched on May 1 in Havana, Cuba, to celebrate International Workers´ Day, TeleSUR English said.
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro was present, alongside Cuban President Raul Castro. Marchers called for an end to the more than five decades-long US blockade against the island and celebrated the return home of the Cuban Five, who were jailed by the US after infiltrating right-wing anti-Cuban groups in Miami to help stop terrorist attacks.
