Police have prohibited Cuba’s most prominent blogger from attending an independent cyber-workshop and warned that her activities ran afoul of the law, her husband said Friday.
Yoani Sanchez and husband and fellow blogger Reynaldo Escobar were summoned separately Wednesday to a police station near their apartment in Havana’s Vedado district and reprimanded, Escobar said in a telephone interview.
Authorities told the couple they could not travel to the western province of Pinar del Rio for a two-day blogger’s workshop scheduled to begin Friday night.
“We aren’t attending the inauguration of the workshop, which has not been suspended. We’ve just changed the dynamic of how we are meeting,” said Escobar, without elaborating.
An account of the reprimand appears on Sanchez’s blog, “Generacion Y.” The site was blocked to Internet users on the island Friday…
