Sometimes childhood fears are well founded.
The former Miss Czech Republic 1999 runs a foundation in New York that supports disadvantaged children in nine countries, and she wanted to see what she could do to help in Cuba. But on Monday, Cuban security police detained Houdova and her travel companion, Czech psychologist Mariana Kroftova, while they were taking photographs in the poor Havana neighbourhood of Arroyo Naranjo.
"They screamed at us. We were afraid,” Houdova said. “We grew up under communism and know what it is like."
"Something needs to change here,” Kroftova said.
Without freedom the littlest things become impossible.
