Cuban news agency Hablemos Press reported the arrest of independent journalist Héctor Julio Cedeño on Feb. 5, for allegedly attacking a police officer in Havana, the capital.
In a phone call to the news agency, the reporter explained that police arrested him for photographing inspectors performing their duties without their uniforms. In a struggle that followed, he tore the shirt of one of the police, resulting in the charge of attacking an officer. The reporter claimed he was hit in the cheek in the scuffle.
Blogger Yoani Sánchez tweeted that Cedeño was arrested for taking photos of inspectors harassing self-employed taxi drivers.
