Book VI Print 35: Officials presiding over mass rally in support of Fidel Castro's arrest of Huber MatosYale University. Department of Manuscripts and Archives1959 OctoberengspaThe top row and two bottom rows of frames show the balcony and officials presiding over a mass rally called by Fidel Castro for October 26, 1959, and organized by government-affiliated labor unions to express support for Fidel Castro's decision to arrest Commander Huber Matos for resigning his military post and to charge him with treason and attempting to conspire against the revolutionary government. Matos was later sentenced to twenty years in prison. The rally was also called in order to show popular support for the recommissioning of Revolutionary Tribunals to try internal enemies of Cuba for counterrevolution and to protest recent incursions into Cuban airspace by Florida-based planes that had been carrying out bombing, leafletting and other violent raids on Cuba in order to topple the government. Frames 16-18, 10-12 and 22-24 show President Osvaldo Dorticós addressing the crowds from the balcony of the Presidential Palace. The middle two rows of images show an armed sharpshooter perched on the roof of a building adjacent to the Presidential Palace, as well as evidence of counterrevolutionary vandalism on the window of a building crowded by onlookers and police.
