Jose Manuel Alvarez detained
Television production crews from Palenque Vision who supply original content from Cuba for Radio and Television Marti are routinely detained and their equipment confiscated. On October 6th, Jose Manuel Alvarez was getting opinions from people on the street in Santiago de Cuba about legalizing cockfighting when he was detained. The police could not find the flash card on his camera and he was released in the afternoon with a warning to him and to his family from Cuban State Security.
