LGBT activists arrested in Cuba

HAVANA – A number of gay rights activists were arrested after clashing with police at an unauthorized pride march in Cuba’s capital, Havana.

Saturday’s event followed the unexpected cancellation by the communist authorities of the country’s 12th annual march against homophobia.

Activists condemned the move and then organized their own demonstration, largely through social media.

Marching in Cuba without permission can be met with a strong police response. (BBC)
