Anti-Communist Activist and Sister of Fidel and Raúl Castro, Juanita Castro, Dies at 90

Known for her work with the CIA against her brothers' communist government in Cuba, she spent most of her life in Miami after fleeing the island.

Juanita Castro, sister of Fidel and Raúl Castro, has died at the age of 90 in Miami.
She was known for her anti-communist stance and her work with the CIA to undermine the communist government led by her brothers in Cuba.
Juanita Castro initially supported her brothers' revolution against the Batista regime, but became disillusioned when Fidel Castro turned towards hard-line communism after taking power in 1959.
She fled Cuba in 1964, after her mother's death, and settled in Miami where she ran a pharmacy and became a respected member of the Cuban-American community.
Despite her political opposition to her brothers, she maintained familial ties, expressing sadness at Fidel's death in 2016.
