Cuban journalists on hunger strike

Two imprisoned Cuban journalists began a hunger strike on 1 February. Pedro Argüelles Morán and Albert Santiago du Bouchet are protesting at the Havana government's stipulation that they must agree to go into exile if they are to be freed.

Morán is seven years into a 20-year sentence for "espionage." Du Bouchet was sentence to three years in 2009 for "disrespecting authority".
