Cuba: CFWIJ Condemns The State Persecution Against Journalist Luz Escobar

Luz Escobar, a correspondent for website 14yMedio, was barred from leaving her home in Havana on International Women's Day. There were plainclothes police personnel guarding her door, as well as two women from the ministry of the interior in a nearby car, keeping surveillance. Luz was told she could not go out and was to remain inside her house. CFWIJ is appalled by the alarming state restrictions enforced against the journalist.
