Independent journalist and activist Yoani Sánchez, who leads the digital platform 14ymedio, was detained on Wednesday while walking in Havana. The arrest was carried out by State Security agents aiming to prevent her from attending a diplomatic reception hosted by Mike Hammer, the chief of the U.S. mission in Cuba. The two men displayed IDs with the initials DSE (Department of State Security), while the women remained unidentified. Restriction of Movement as a TacticAgents instructed Sánchez to walk back to her home, imposing a movement restriction until the following day. "Maybe because they don't have fuel," Sánchez quipped, referencing the energy and fuel crisis affecting even the regime's repressive machinery.
