Cuban blogger Yoani Sánchez detained
The Associated Press
BAYAMO, Cuba -- A Spanish man detained in Cuba has gone on trial in
connection with a car crash that killed a prominent dissident and
another anti-government activist in July.
Pro-government bloggers in the city where the trial is being held are
reporting dissident writer Yoani Sanchez has been detained by
authorities in Bayamo, about 500 miles (800 kilometers) east of Havana.
Human rights monitor Elizardo Sanchez in Havana confirms the detention
of Sanchez, her husband and a man who was driving them.
Spaniard Angel Carromero is charged with the equivalent of vehicular
manslaughter in the July 22 crash in which dissidents Oswaldo Paya and
Harold Cepero died.
Carromero arrived at a Bayamo courthouse Friday morning for his trial.
He could face up to 10 years behind bars.
