Reporters' group plans Miami office to work for freedom in Cuba
Thursday, January 22, 2004
MIAMI, USA (AFP): Reporters Without Borders announced Tuesday the opening of a Miami office to work for freedom in Cuba, saying that the international press has "demonized" Miami's anti-Castro Cubans.
"They have different points of view, but they are all reasonable and they are the incarnation of democracy and liberty," the secretary general of the international journalists' group, Robert Menard, told AFP.
"I found that there is an international demonization of the Cuban exile community, which is an achievement of (Cuban President) Fidel Castro."
Menard visited various groups in the community of some 800,000 Cubans in Miami. The group, also known by its name in French, Reporters Sans Frontiers, plans to work in Miami to defend 26 imprisoned journalists jailed on the island during last year's wave of repression against pro-democracy activists.
