#Cuba Acabo de llegar a casa, gracias a todos por la solidaridad y la difusión de la arbitraria detención que sufrí esta mañana. Ese apoyo fue el que logró descorrer los cerrojos y abrir los barrotes.

Cuban journalist Yoani Sánchez’s arrest this morning is part of the Cuban regime’s continued campaign to crush the independent press. From detaining Adel Bonne and Camila Acosta this week to imprisoning Henry Constantín, the Cuban regime shows its cowardice as it relies on arbitrary arrests because it fears the truth. #LibertadYa

Ecuadorian politicians, business executives, and narcotraffickers arrested for narcotics importation and weapons offenses: “The charges announced today represent a coordinated effort to dismantle political corruption and narcotics trafficking that had wreaked havoc in Ecuador and plagued the country with increasing violence in recent years,” said U.S. Attorney Jamie McDonald. “As alleged in the Indictment, the defendants played a critical role in transforming the country into a major transit hub for 70 percent of the cocaine reaching the United States and Europe. These prosecutions hold accountable powerful politicians and narcotraffickers alike who profited from and facilitated the international narcotics trade and who degraded Ecuador’s internal security.” @DEAHQ

Mensaje del Presidente de la República, Santiago Peña, al pueblo paraguayo.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
La renuncia de Peña antes de una condena en juicio político le permite acceder a la senaduría vitalicia (art. 189 de la Constitución). Esto le da fueros parlamentarios: para someterlo a un proceso penal se requeriría el desafuero aprobado por dos tercios del Senado (art. 191).
