Jump To Comment: 1and while celebrating the 50th Anniversary Commemoration and Celebration of the Cuban Revolution remember those prisoners on conscience. consider Fabio Prieto Llorente, one of 21 independent journalists jailed in Cuba. His current cell is just 3 meters by 2 meters.
Prieto Llorente, a freelancer, was arrested in March 2003 during a massive crackdown on Cuban dissidents and independent journalists. Most of the 29 reporters and editors jailed almost six years ago remain behind bars. Cuba is one of the world's leading jailer of journalists, second only to China.
