Pablo Pacheco is a journalist that was imprisoned in Cuba in 2003, and remains behind bars (his sentence is 20 years). Supposedly, he is able to dictate blog entries by phone to Claudia Cadelo, a friend, who posts them here.
The Huffington Post gave this blog attention today. It seems unbelievable that Pacheco would be able to maintain an online journal while in jail in a country where internet is scarcely available to those that have no run-ins with the police. I share it for that reason alone, not because I am privvy to any information beyond what is here. Further, I see no reason to doubt the Huffington Post and Yoani Sanchez, who relayed the blog.
