"Cuba's dictatorship has not let up its persecution and harassment against journalist Camila Acosta, Cuban correspondent for the Spanish newspaper ABC. Recently on state television, the regime broadcast a conversation (previously manipulated) to defame the journalist. This fact has been denounced by the NGO Prisoners Defenders.
Regarding this recent event, the NGO made its position known and assured that it is a strategy of the dictatorship. 'It is the first step towards an illegal detention, because it helps them to prepare the population so there will be no complaints or surprises in a future arrest' against Acosta.
In the framework of the Agreement between the European Union and the Cuban regime, the NGO evaluated possible scenarios in how to respond to acts against the journalist and any impact on the civilian population."
