Cuban journalist tells her story

I just posted at Uncommon Sense an e-mail interview I did with Cuban independent journalist Aini Martín Valero of the Cuba-Verdad news agency on the island.

Valero, 34, has been an independent journalist since late 2005, and despite harassment by the police, including several arrests, she remains committed to her work, and to a free Cuba.

As Ziva wrote in the comments, Valero's "bravery is stunning and humbling."

It was an honor to help her tell her story.

(And thank you, Val, for asking me to post this.)

That was a terrific interview, Marc. What a brave woman. She embodies the ideals and values that a free Cuba will need. This woman exudes the principles that I hope the Cuban youth have. It is my hope that they will fight for their freedom and help build a free Cuba.
