Fidel Stole My Students
By Lafitte Fernandez

Lafitte Fernández, editor of El Diario de Hoy, in San Salvador, El Salvador, was getting ready to travel to Cuba to conduct a workshop for approximately 20 independent journalists, after having been asked to do so by an international journalists’ organization. Shortly before he was to leave, he received an e-mail that read: “Fidel jailed all your students.”

This is a story about a group of men whose only crime was to believe that they could write about the regime in Cuba.
