"Cuban authorities should thoroughly investigate the recent attack on journalist Alberto Corzo and swiftly bring those responsible to justice, the Committee to Protect Journalists said Friday.

‘We are appalled by the brutal assault on Cuban journalist Alberto Corzo, which suspiciously occurred just minutes after he refused to provide information to the political police on his way to a reporting assignment,’ said Ana Cristina Núñez, CPJ’s Latin America and the Caribbean senior researcher. 'Cuban authorities must conduct a transparent and independent investigation into the attack and bring those responsible to justice.'
[Corzo] was diagnosed with a dislocated clavicle and hospitalized to treat his injuries. Corzo was released from the hospital on April 5. Upon being released, Corzo went to the local police office to file a complaint, but the agent in charge said he could only take a statement. ‘I accuse the regime, the dictatorship, and the political police of being responsible for the this attack I suffered,” the journalist said."
