One of Spain's largest media groups says Cuba has revoked the
accreditation of its correspondent on the Caribbean island for alleged
bias and negative reporting.

El Pais said Sunday that 47-year-old Mauricio Vicent has reported from
Cuba for newspaper El Pais and radio network Cadena SER _ both part of
Grupo Prisa _ for 20 years.

Cuba's international press center informed Vincent his permit was
withdrawn "irrevocably," according to El Pais.

El Pais said Vicent's work was an example of professionalism,
impartiality and balance, and that he won Spain's 1998 International
Press Club award for best work. The paper says he is married to a Cuban
national and has two children.
