Cuba revokes accreditation of Spanish journalist
One of Spain's largest media groups says Cuba has revoked the accreditation of its longtime correspondent on the Caribbean island for alleged bias and negative reporting, the latest in a series of steps by the communist government targeting foreign journalists and news organizations. El Pais said Sunday that 47-year-old Mauricio Vicent has reported from Cuba for the newspaper El Pais and the radio network Cadena SER — both part of Grupo Prisa — for 20 years. He is married to a Cuban woman and has children born on the island. It was not clear whether the revocation of his accreditation meant Vicent would have to leave the country, or if he was just barred from reporting. Cuba's international press center informed Vicent his permit was withdrawn "irrevocably," according to El Pais. Several correspondents based on the island have not had their press credentials renewed in recent months, and some have left. (AP)
