HAVANA (Reuters) - Cuba’s National Assembly approved a law on Tuesday that bans commemorative statues of Fidel Castro and naming public places after him, in accordance with the wishes of the revolutionary leader, who died last month. “The leader of the revolution rejected any personality cult and he was consistent in this right up to the last hour of his life.”

Cubans, however, almost worshipped Fidel Castro as a cult during his lifetime.
