Updated on 07 November 2009
A Cuban blogger who has gained international attention for her searing commentary about life on the communist island said she was briefly detained and warned by state security agents about her opposition activity.
Yoani Sanchez, who runs a blog called Generation Y and whose writings have appeared in several international publications and websites, told The Associated Press that two state agents in civilian clothes stopped her in Havana's Vedado neighbourhood as she and several friends made their way to a protest march in central Havana.
The agents ordered her and one of her friends to get into their car and pulled her hair and kicked her when she initially refused, Sanchez said.
