Last month, award-winning Cuban blogger Yoani Sanchez was once again denied permission to leave the island, this time to receive the Maria Moors Cabot award for journalism. Less than three weeks later, Sanchez was arrested along with fellow blogger Orlando Luis Pardo as they neared an anti-violence demonstration.

Reuters reports that Sanchez and Pardo were both release shortly afterward, Sanchez with minor injuries, and that another blogger, Claudio Cadelo, was separately arrested and released. Sanchez has written about the incident (in Spanish) on her blog, Generacion Y. The blog Uncommon Sense has more information in English.

Update: Global Voices has translated a number of posts related to the incident. According to Yoani Sanchez and Claudia Cadelo, both bloggers were beaten during their detention.
