Disturbing news from Havana

It's very sketchy but it looks like Manuel Sigler Amaya and his wife and children were boarding an airliner for freedom in Havana and were pulled from the flight at the last minute by castro's thugs. Manuel is one of the 75 and seems to be a close associate of Marta Beatriz Roque. He is also seen on Catholic Cuban sites, so might be an activist for them. I have a fragment of a news story here:

castro stops at nothing to destroy all who oppose him. castro has killed many over the years, not just dissidents, but quite a few (ochoa, de la guardia, etc) who were with his regime. Some day soon, castro will hopefully be killed by someone's son or grandson that will be in a position to exact vengeance. No hay mal que dure cien anos.......

How disgusting. castro's thugs really are experts at crushing people's spirit. Moments from freedom and the beast captures them. Absolutely evil.
