Cuban voted best cyber dissident

Cuban journalist Guillermo Fariñas received a prize and cyber dissident status from Reporters Without Borders.

From February to August 2006, Guillermo went on a hunger strike in protest against Internet censorship. The authorities, without hesitation, hospitalized him, trying to stop the protest. The authorities even wanted Guillermo to use the Internet, but he refused to read the news filtered by the communist regime.

The Cuban journalist finished his hunger strike dying, losing 15 kilograms of weight, according to Reporters Without Borders .
