Independent journalists released


CAMAGUEY, March 4 (Normando Hernández, / www.cubanet.org) - Two independent journalists who had been arrested Friday were released over the weekend after being interrogated by police.

Lexter Téllez, 27, and Carlos Brizuela, 29, were arrested early Friday at Téllez' home.

Téllez was accused of disseminating news abroad and was interrogated three times by Captain Armando Alemán, of the Technical Investigations Department in Ciego de Ávila. He was finally released Sunday night.

"Major Tony, of the State Security Department, took me home," said Téllez. He said his files, typewriter, and books that had been confiscated have not been returned.

Brizuela was questioned four times about his work, and then declared himself on strike, refusing to eat, drink, or speak. He was released Saturday morning.
