Cuban doctors working in Bolivia have saved the sight of the man who executed revolutionary leader Che Guevara in 1967, Cuban official media report.
Mario Teran, a Bolivian army sergeant, shot dead Che Guevara after he was captured in Bolivia’s eastern lowlands.
Cuban media reported news of the surgery ahead of the 40th anniversary of Che’s death on 9 October.
Mr Teran had cataracts removed under a Cuban programme to offer free eye treatment across Latin America.
