For at least the second time this month, Cuban journalism student Adiet Conde Sotolongo was arrested Thursday in Havana, according to a report posted on Facebook by exiled Cuban journalist/blogger Luis Felipe Rojas.

Ives González Roca, a friend and fellow student who witnessed the arrest, said Conde was stopped by a counter-intelligence agent about 9 a.m., hustled into a waiting vehicle and driven to a police station. His whereabouts were unknown.

Conde, Gonzalez and at least five other journalism students were arrested and detained last week after leaving a journalism training session at the U.S. Interest Section in Havana.
