HAVANA, Aug. 13 (UPI) -- Cuban dissidents will not be invited to the U.S. embassy flag-raising ceremony in Havana, which will be attended by representatives from both governments including Secretary of State John Kerry.
Instead, dissidents will be invited to a reception at the home of the chief of the U.S. mission in Cuba. The flag ceremony will be held on Friday, where Kerry will meet with Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez.
