    Cuba denies visas to OAS chief, ex Mexican president and ex Chilean minister

    In a letter to Rosa Maria Paya, Almagro said the Cuban consulate informed him that he would not be granted a visa and the purpose of the visit was provocation.

    The Organization of American States Secretary-General Luis Almagro said Wednesday that the Cuban government denied him permission to enter the island to receive a human rights prize created to honor late dissident Oswaldo Paya. Mexican ex-President Felipe Calderon and former Chilean Education Minister Maria Aylwin were denied entry to the island the day before.
