Blogger takes on the system

For Generation Y, blogger Yoani Sánchez wrote to Obama asking him questions about his Cuban policy. “After months of trying I managed to send a questionnaire to the American president, Barack Obama, with some of the issues that keep me from sleeping.” Go to her blog to read Obama’s answers to her questions. She has asked for a response to some questions she sent to Cuba’s president Raúl Castro too.

Sánchez, who won the 2008 Ortega y Gasset prize (”The Spanish Pulitizer), last Friday along with fellow bloggers was abducted and beaten. The incident was clearly meant to intimidate her – her blog, which is critical of the Cuban government is blocked on the island. .
