University of Havana Protestors, Rodriguez Lobaina Brothers and other Baracoa Demonstrators Released!

Thank you to everyone who has taken action to help the University of Havana protestors, the Rodriguez Lobaina brothers, and the rest of the Baracoa demonstrators! Our campaign abroad, coupled with the actions of the pro-freedom resistance in Cuba, have forced the Communists to release them! There's lots of work left ahead as the totalitarian regime's unjust laws and repressive apparatus remain in place to continue imprisoning democracy activists and human rights defenders.

The news of the release of the five demonstrators arrested in Baracoa and held in Guanatanamo (Nestor Rodríguez Lobaina and his brother Rolando, Enyor Díaz Allen, Roberto González Pelegrín and Francisco Manzanet Ortiz) was broken by independent journalist Jorge Corrales Ceballos on twitter late on September 4, 2010: http://twitter.com/jccpalenque.


Well known blogger Yoani Sanchez reported the release of the three University of Havana protestors who remained imprisoned after their daring demonstration on the university's iconic front steps on August 16, 2010: http://twitter.com/yoanisanchez
