The Cuban government has accused the United States of being behind protests planned to take place in the country on November 15.

The protests are organised by a group called Archipiélago which claims to have some 20,000 members. Many of these members live outside the country and, in particular, in the United States.

The protests were originally planned for November 30, but that day was declared “National Defence Day”, so they were moved forward to November 15.
