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 air raids by counterrevolutionary exile groups, largely comprised of batistianos, based in Florida. Bottom row of frames shows Fidel Castro giving the televised address to the nation on October 19, 1959, at which he originally denounced Commander Huber Matos of treason and of being a puppet of counterrevolutionaries.
