Detention of Cuban journalist Yoani Sánchez

Overview

On November 5, 2026, Yoani Sánchez, the director of the independent news outlet 14ymedio, was detained for approximately nine hours by State Security agents in Havana. Sánchez reported being intercepted by three plainclothes officers in the Nuevo Vedado neighborhood while leaving her residence.

During her time at the Fourth Station of the National Revolutionary Police, authorities reportedly accused her of “propaganda against the constitutional order.” Sánchez stated she faced pressure and threats during questioning.

Following her release, Sánchez reported that security forces maintained a presence around her home and cordoned off her apartment building to restrict her movements. She also noted that other detainees at the station were being forcibly returned to their home provinces because they lacked registered addresses in Havana.
