Cuba took the Czech Foreign Minister from his hotel and marched him to an airplane and deported him and a German member of parliament for wanting to visit Cuban dissidents. The Czech Foreign Minister said the incident was "proof that there is a totalitarian regime in Cuba." Reuters reports that a handful of American and European diplomats attended a meeting with the dissidents but observers, including a reporter for an Italian newspaper, three Polish journalists, two former Spanish senators and a Spanish legislator were detained and "ejected" from Cuba. AFP reports that in addition to the 13 deportations, four Poles are believed to be in police custody. A google for New York Times and cuba and deport yielded no results. What a surprise.
Would you like to bet that no journalist organization will protest the action?
