Cuban Lady in White and independent journalist stands up to Castro State Security
Another untold story of the courage Cuban women in the opposition display on a daily basis. Like this one, there are thousands more that are ignored by the international media.
Summoned by police, Cuban independent journalist stands up for her rights
Magali Norvis Otero Suarez
The quote of the day comes from Magali Norvis Otero Suarez, a Cuban independent journalist and Damas De Blanco, after a young punk of a policeman summoned her to a police station for an interview this week:
"I have not committed any crime. I have only reported on and demanded respect for human rights. ... I desire for my country the freedom of expression, opinion and movement. This is why they threaten me and try to restrain me, for expressing myself freely."
