Cuban dissident arrested on arrival at Panama's Summit of the Americas


---------------------------------

Rosa Maria Paya, whose anti-Castro father Oswaldo Paya died in a mysterious car crash in 2012, was arrested at the airport on Sunday evening.
-------------------------------

She claimed the police told her: "You are going to be deported to Cuba if you cause any trouble or start raising banners. Go back to your own country to cause trouble."

Miss Paya, 26, said she was held for four hours while they searched her luggage - "even going through my underwear".

------------
Micaela Hierro Dori said "the same happened to me", and that she was threatened with being deported to Argentina.

was accepting money from USAID and the right wing. He had over 50 convictions for speeding.

Why can't they accept that fact? No one has taken up her BS about her dad who really in fact was a decent person.

The stupid thing about the right wing in Cuba is that they tell unbelievable stories and expect others to swallow it whole. They'd do better bitching about known problems but then they wouldn't profit as much.
