Havana Real
She's been kidnapped and beaten, lives under surveillance, and can only get onlineain disguiseaat tourist hotspots. She's a blogger, she's a Cuban, and she's a worldwide sensation. Yoani SAinchez is an unusual dissident: no street protests, no attacks on big politicos, no calls for revolution.
