Beirut, August 25 (RHC) -- An extensive program about the leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, was broadcast by the Lebanese pan-Arabist channel Al-Mayadeen, on the occasion of the Cuban leader's 88th birthday.

Conceived on the occasion of his 88th birthday, on August 13th, the television station included in an hour-long program some fragments of documentaries about Fidel Castro and testimonies of three individuals, one from Lebanon, one from the Palestinian territories and one from Argentina, admirers of the Cuban revolutionary.

“Since the triumph of the Cuban Revolution in January 1959, Fidel has been a great supporter of our cause everywhere, and Cuba has been an example to be followed by the Palestinian people,” said Kaed Al-Ghoul a senior PLO leader, in the AL-Mayadeen program.
