Her name is Yoani Sanchez.
Kudos to El Pais.
Perhaps this will serve as a lesson for all those "journalists" that have jeopardized their integrity to satisfy their dictatorial hosts.

Liberty is the right of every man to be honest, to think and to speak without hypocrisy. Jose Marti

I remember other interventions: Claudio Fuentes asked for a vote, after talking about dictatorship and of political prisoners called for the lifting of hands from those who agreed to change things, almost everyone raised their hands. A Puerto Rican said that although he lived in a colony, in his country he had freedom of expression and asked to leave the microphone open 24 hours. An American: I do not speak Spanish but: ¡viva la cambia! Reinaldo Escobar with a black bag over his head took a second opportunity and said: I think this should be banned. Hamlet Labastida, a plastic artist, called for democracy and for at least one more to go up to the podium, at least one. Ciro Diaz was going to sing "The Commander", but time was up and not the boys dressed in military uniform, but a sullen sound man walked up and shouted: It's over!, While ordering: Disconnect it already! A sizable audience was shouting: Ciro, Ciro, Ciro!, Like a "Porno Para Ricardo" concert asking for another song. The rapid response squad was poor, with only two people, and I suppose they felt strange being the minority without power on the stage: a completely new experience for them.

Yoani Sanchez, the blogger from Generation Y is accused of counterrevolution, for daring to have a meeting with a group of Cuban youth, where she talks about the possibility of helping them express themselves through a blog. This is very typical of the Castro Regime. They are so afraid of ideas and they can't stand for anyone to think different.
From the government, I always expect the worse, but when I hear people like the three in the video talk the way they do, it makes my blood boil, because this is precisely what has been happening in Cuba for over fifty years. They are nothing more then snitches!
Every time someone tries to make changes and ends up in jail for trying, he or she is left alone! It is my understanding that the majority of people in Cuba ignore the identity of Dr. Oscar Elias Biscet. A man is rotting in prison, he is sacrificing his life, his youth and his family for defying the regime and asking for basic human right for unborn babies, and no one there knows his story.
Perhaps some of you may ask-well what's wrong with being labeled an Counterrevolutionary? Well a lot, because that word has cost the lives of thousands of Cubans.
The problem in Cuba is a never ending vicious cycle, but it has a solution. The answer is with the ones that left and today keep the dictatorship in power, with the financial help they give their families in Cuba. At this rate, it's never going to fall-and those three that today try to bury Yoani Sanchez, in a few years might also be supported by someone abroad or perhaps will move to Miami and pretend they are maggots (name given by the Castro Regime to the anticommunists). Meanwhile they will continue to obey their master, like cows on their way to the slaughter house.
Yoani puts herself in danger and this is how they repay her. I wish I could post a video with English subtitles. Basically these tree are throwing her under the bus and saying they are not interested in having access to the internet and that she was inciting them to write about the reality of Cuba, that no one is allowed to express in the only newspaper allowed-The Granma. These are University students and through they are trying to sound smart, they actually sound stupid.
There is a part where the female says that Yoani Sanchez was telling them that in the blog they can express their true feelings, as if there were anything wrong with that. They also said that they were appalled that a church building had been used for such meeting-and that's a joke, because many priests have lost their life in Cuba, at the hands of the Castro Regime and communists have never shown respect for any church and most of the dead at the hands of the communist throughout the world have been Christians. The number is at about 100 million.........


Now it would seem that the daughter of the "Lord of no Mercy", has grown airs of grandeur and look at how she talks about Yoani,Mariela: Including treatment for transgender people is something that’s called for in the law. We don’t ask for more.
Yoani: I’d like to ask if this entire campaign being undertaken, in some way, for society to accept sexual preference could, at some point, move to other roles and will also fight for tolerance of other aspects which could be points of view and political and ideological preferences. Will we also come out of these closets?
Mariela: I don’t know because I don’t work in that area. The ideological and political field is outside my responsibility. I think I am doing the best I can given my ability.
The demon spawn said also, "some friends wrote me to let me know that the young woman, has started a big ruckus in some blogs, dedicated to discrediting the Cuban Revolution". Hello! I hate to be the barer of bad news, but the Revolution is 50 years old and it was discredited a long time ago, without any help from us.
What does this "Rich Tramp" think she is? Does she think anyone believes she is interested in the equality of homosexuals? We all know too well, that the Cuban government has systematically spend decades trying to destroy them. The Cuban gay community has been marginalized, tortured, assassinated and imprisoned. All she is trying to do is get transgender patients to Cuba in order to make her father's regime richer and stronger.
The daughter of the second oldest Mummy in Cuba, should stick to what is, her area of work, being that she is so progressive and liberal-not exactly in between her ears.............and let the job of defending the right of the Cuban people to the "Insignificant", because she is not even worthy to stand in the same room with Yoani Sanchez!!

The Cuban blogger Yoani Sánchez said this Thursday, that the intimidation from the government to halt the realization of the meeting of Bloggers, planned for this Saturday in Havana, is a sampling of the "fear" the authorities have of any "unauthorized reunion, that "escapes" their "control".
"The Cuban government is afraid of any gathering of people, who by their own initiative decide to get together to discuss a subject that is outside of "official control", whatever it may be", she told AFP, and and affirmed, that the strong police warning she received on Wenesday, will not make then cancel the encouter".........................
This was reported by Cubaencuentro
As I wrote last night, Yoani Sanchez, winner of the Best Weblog in the "The Bobs", for her Generation Y blog exposing the reality of life in Cuba, as well as numerous other awards, was summoned to a local police station in Havana where she resides with her Husband and son.Yoani and her husband were interviewed by two members of the Ministry of the Interior (secret police), who refused to sign a formal statement-the bastards want no paper trail!
They read from a script.........
"We want to advise you that you have transgressed all the limits of tolerance, with your proximity to elements of the counterrevolution".
Referring to a scheduled meeting, that will bring together Cuban bloggers from inside and outside Cuba, they informed her that, "The activity planned in the next few days, can not be realized".
They went on to say, "On our part, we will take all measures and will make the pertinent reports and accusations necesary. This activity, with the moments this Nation is living, trying to recuperate from the hurracanes, will not be permited".
BASTARDS!!
Before they asked her to leave, she called them Cowards, for not signing the statement read to her. Wow......What guts!
