The detention, beating and subsequent release of bloggers Yoaní Sánchez, Claudia Cadelo and Orlando Luis Pardo by Cuban state security on November 6, is receiving widespread coverage in both the mainstream media and the blogosphere and twittersphere. Yoaní has written (es) about the incident on Generación Y, her blog, and English-language blogs like Babalú Blog, Repeating Islands and Uncommon Sense are following the story. An audio interview (es) with Sánchez about the incident has been posted to YouTube.
On the evening of November 6, Babalú blog linked to a post by Penultimos Dias (es) reporting that a number of prominent Cuban bloggers, including Yoaní Sánchez and Global Voices contributor Claudia Cadelo, were detained by state security forces. An update from Penultimos Días reported that Sanchez and Orlando Luis Pardo were “verbally abused and severely beaten”.

My heart goes out to the family and friends of the family. Something like this just does not happen. You expect more commmon place accidents like vehicular accidents, hurricane disaster but a house collapsing in a cave? Wow i was really shocked. i pray that somehow they have survived. i pray for a miracle
Dear Sons and Daughters Of Barbados:
Our earnest prayers shall continue to go up to The Almighty Jehovah for peace and divine closure in reference to our recent tragedy at Britton’s Hill,St.Michael. We like millions of others can understand the horrific innermost pain and unforgetable terror being experienced by family members,friends,neighbors and acquaintances of these innocent victims. Only Jehovah truly knows all the answers surrounding this incident,but we shall continue to honor Him as we unite our hearts in solemn prayer.
We shall not lose hope,but shall stand steadfast in the knowledge that The Most High(Jehovah Shalom) can bring them peace…and we believe that He shall…By and By.
In Christ’s Blessed name. Amnen.
