That is where "Reuters" FAILED. They also could have called the incident a kidnapping, and not a detention, as the people who commited the crime did not identify themselves as official government thugs. Cubabuzz,

They didn't fail to quote her, they FAILED to quote her completely, leaving out that they pulled out hair, that they put her head down and feet upward in the car, that they put a knee to her back and that they told her, her time was up.

That is where "Reuters" FAILED. They also could have called the incident a kidnapping, and not a detention, as the people who commited the crime did not identify themselves as official government thugs.

Well, that's not fair. The Reuters article quoted Yoani as saying she was "detained" and they also quoted her saying: "I'm flustered. It has been very intense," she said. She said she had a sore shoulder and back from the encounter, but no serious injuries. In fact, almost this entire article is nothing but quotes from Yoani.
