HAVANA — A leading international press advocacy group on Tuesday protested the U.S. government’s refusal to grant visas to two Cuban journalists trying to return to their jobs at the United Nations after a brief vacation back home.
Paris-based Reporters Without Borders called on the U.N. secretary-general’s office to intercede on behalf of Tomas Granados Jimenez and Ilsa Rodriguez Santana, a married couple who have covered the United Nations in New York for Cuba’s official Prensa Latina news agency since 2005. Their U.N. accreditation is valid until early next year.
U.S. officials have not responded to requests for comment.
