UPDATED, Nov. 29, 2010 (8:45 a.m. EST) - Yoani Sanchez reports via Twitter that Luis Rojas is being transferred back to his home in San German.

UPDATED, Nov. 29, 2010 (5:45 p.m. EST) - He has been released.

Luis Felipe Rojas is one of Cuba's most accomplished independent journalists and bloggers.

Which probably is why Cuban police today reportedly detained him and his family outside of Guantanamo, according to the Twitter feed of Cuban democracy activist Rolando Lobaina.
