History
The Kouri family was a prominent Cuban family, both before and after the revolution. In 1961, Castro Foreign Minister Raul Roa's sister-in-law, Sarita Kouri, at the time serving with the Cuban Organization of American States delegation in Washington D.C., defected and became a leading anti-Castro activist.
