Cubanow.- Over 200 members of an international brigade will be in Cuba
during the first half of October to participate in activities marking
the 40 anniversary of the death in combat of Argentinean-Cuban
guerrilla fighter Ernesto Che Guevara.

The brigade was organized by Cubabs Friendship Institute (ICAP) and as
part of the agenda in Cuba the visitors from 33 countries of the world
will take part in agricultural and cultural activities. They will also
visit places of historic interest and they will learn more about the
case of the five Cuban antiterrorist fighters held in US jails.

The first brigade members arrived in Havana from Lebanon, Brazil,
Japan, Turkey, Ireland, Spain, South Korea, Colombia, U.K., Ecuador,
Honduras and Israel. Other visitors will come from Switzerland,
Germany, Austria, Portugal, Argentina, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Canada,
the U.S.A., Iran, Chile, Venezuela, Italy and Mexico.

The brigade will be hosted by the Julio Antonio Mella International
Camp, where all international and solidarity contingents are housed
during their stay on the island. ON Monday, participants are scheduled
to lay a floral wreath at the monument of Cuban National Hero Jose
Marti, at Havanabs Central Park.
