The Inter American Press Association (IAPA) has strongly rejected the regulation of the practice of journalism as occurs in Cuba, where a female journalist and her colleague are under house arrest and facing charges for practicing the profession.
In Cuba, journalist Sol García Basulto, of the Camagüey magazine La Hora de Cuba and correspondent in that city of the news website 14ymedio, has been under house arrest since Monday. She was summoned on July 24 by local police for reporting on "developments" regarding her accusation of alleged "encroachment of legal capacity" imposed in March this year, for "carrying out interviews on the street, and publishing them in the magazine." The agent in charge of her case warned her to hire a lawyer and declared – in response to a question from her – that Henry Constantín Ferreiro, editor of La Hora de Cuba, would be later notified about the proceedings.
