“'I am not free, but at least I am out of the dungeons,' Camila Acosta told CPJ via messaging app after her release to house arrest on July 16 following a four-day detention for covering the recent protests in Cuba.
Acosta, who is based in Havana, covered protests on July 11 for the Cuban independent digital outlet Cubanet on Facebook Live and for the Spanish daily ABC. The following day, she was detained by officers of the National Revolutionary Police (PNR) and sent to the 4th Station of the PNR, in Havana. At least other 10 journalists have been detained in the aftermath of the protests, and today at least one remains behind bars, CPJ has confirmed with sources on the ground."
