Cuban revolutionary figure Armando Hart dies at 87
Havana, (MILLAT ONLINE):Armando Hart Davalos, a key figure of the Cuban revolution and close friend of Fidel Castro, died Sunday in Havana at the age of 87.
Cuban state media reported that the elderly revolutionary — who spearheaded the country’s huge literacy drive — passed away in the afternoon of respiratory failure.
Hart, who suffered from health problems and was wheelchair-bound in his later years, was a lawyer by training but soon became caught up in the political fervour that swept through Cuba in the 1950s.
