Cuba: No right to protest

Six activists and two independent journalists are still in prison awaiting trial two years after staging a public, peaceful protest to protest the beating of another journalist.

The eight are all accused of public disorder, disobedience, and resistance, and the prosecutor in the case, Iliana Fajardo, is asking for prison terms of between two and seven years for the men.
