Cuban authorities on Sunday detained the managing editor of the Washington Blade’s media partner on the Communist island. Maykel González Vivero in a series of messages he sent to the Blade shortly after 8 p.m.
EST said a police car drove him to a “dark road” about 15 miles outside of Havana and released him. González a few hours earlier in a post on his Facebook page wrote he is “a journalist and I am going to get myself detained now by the police.
Without force. Without drama.” González has backed members of the San Isidro Movement, a group of independent artists, who are currently on a hunger strike to protest the rapper Denis Solís’ arrest earlier this month.
