Once again, caught, threatened, released:
HAVANA, Cuba, May 28 (Frank Correa / www.cubanet.org) - Two independent journalists were detained separately by State Security agents after attending a workshop last week at the U.S. Interests Section.David Águila was stopped by two agents at 3:30 p.m. on May 21 and taken to a nearby park where he was questioned and released. The agents took a copy of El Nuevo Herald of Miami that he was carrying as well as some papers.
An hour later, Reinier Vera was detained by agents who took him to the police station in Párraga for questioning. The police said they were planning a “pretty surprise on graduation day” for the journalists.
Águila and Vera had attended a videoconference workshop given by the International Media Center of Florida International University in Miami.
And once again, not a peep of protest from the Obama administration.
