How Castro's Blackmail Works

Thursday, August 2, 2012
Aron Modig, the Swedish survivor of the car crash that killed Cuban pro-democracy leaders Oswaldo Paya and Harold Cepero, has arrived in Stockholm.

However, he will not be speaking publicly about the incident, in order to try to protect his Spanish colleague, Angel Carromero, who is being held hostage by the Castro regime.

In a written statement though, Sweden's Christian Democratic Youth League has said that Modig remains committed "to the fight for freedom and democratic rights.. beyond Sweden's borders."

An implicit retraction of Modig's (obviously forced) apology in Havana for supporting Paya.

Meanwhile, Paya's family has stated that they do not accept the Castro regime's version of the crash and will not press charges against Carromero.

Yet, Castro seems poised to do so on his own, in order to force Carromero -- and blackmail Modig -- into silence.
