She is not...Nitpick. 3:47 - "Mis nietos". She is not that optimistic, since she expects things to change by the time her grand-kids are around.<br />On the other hand, her son is already alive and things haven't changed, so maybe she is just being realistic.<br />As for ac, please stop being a troll. Calling her names does not deny her courage and the positive change she is trying to affect. I might not agree with her in all matters, but I surely respect her efforts. Many many of the most virulent opponents of the regime do so from the comfort of exile, something that the Castros can tolerate since it allows them to continue running Cuba as their personal finca. When more and more voices like Yoani's get to be heard IN CUBA we will start seeing change.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11834205313742911981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851163370258594999.post-51460882105456553832009-10-21T13:49:46.145-04:002009-10-21T13:49:46.145-04:00AC,

The law was signed by Dorticos in 1959 and clearly states that the Ministry of Interior can deny the exit permit at will. Unfair? Surely, but thats the law.<br />"We should expect her imminent arrest."<br />Nope, she is pretty much harmless (and dumb and some times an idiot) and it putting her behind bars the Cuban government won't win anything. Simply she isn't worth the trouble. Besides if they finally decide to imprison her it will be for legally sound reasons. Maybe unfair and absurd, but nonetheless legal.acnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851163370258594999.post-92114104213093070162009-10-20T11:56:05.756-04:002009-10-20T11:56:05.756-04:00One fact in Rohter's NYT's story blew me ...One fact in Rohter's NYT's story blew me away.<br /><br />He reports that Yoani Sanchez's site gets... 14 MILLION hits per month!<br /><br />The entire NYT site gets only about 15 million per month.<br /><br />Lex WadelskiThe Hypervigilant Observerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15941552098206676049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851163370258594999.post-1829948528112537122009-10-20T11:10:44.647-04:002009-10-20T11:10:44.647-04:00Maybe Ms. Sanchez could sue the Cuban government f...Maybe Ms. Sanchez could sue the Cuban government for infrigement of her constitutional rights. She could appeal her case all the way to the Council of State, the body that put in place the travel restrictions in the same place. Any guess what the outcome would be? We should expect her imminent arrest. There are some websites that detail the level of surveillance she is under right now. Creepy stuff indeed!<br /><br />Vecino de NFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
