The story
A Cuban blogger who has criticized her government has been denied permission to travel to New York to pick up a prestigious journalism award Wednesday.

Yoani Sanchez writes a blog that gets more than 1 million hits from around the globe every month, and Time magazine named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world last year.

So when Columbia University said it would award her the Maria Moors Cabot Prize special citation, Sanchez asked the Cuban government for permission to travel to New York this week. The government said no.

  • En Cuba los chamas y la escuela es guerra continua. No entran al matutino y esperan en los parques a que se termine. A la hora de la merienda se fugan huyéndole a los masareales, torticas de Morón. Pobres..., lo que más escuchan y escriben dentro de esas cerdas de castigo con pizarras es Fidel, Ché, revolución. En sus conclusiones una revolución no le permiten hacer, ni imaginar. Nacen y mueren esclavo por eso la Aldea está que revienta.
