Rally in Havana in solidarity with France Around 50 people holding “Je suis Charlie” and “Yo soy Charlie” signs gathered in front of the French embassy in Havana on Saturday. The event, quite unusual in Cuba, gathered journalists of the foreign press, members of the French community and diplomats, including the French ambassador Jean Mendelson, in a show of support following the three days of attacks in Paris that left 17 people dead.
