Over 70 Ladies in White Arrested Sunday Capitol Hill Cubans February 24, 2014
On Sunday, over 70 members of The Ladies in White, a peaceful pro-democracy group composed of the wives, daughters, sisters and other relatives of Cuban political prisoners were arrested by the Castro regime as they gathered to commemorate the death of Orlando Zapata Tamayo.
Zapata Tamayo, a political prisoner arrested during the "Black Spring" of 2003, died of a hunger strike on February 23, 2010.
His death, and consequent domestic and international pressure, led to the release (and banishment) of other political prisoners from the "Black Spring" later that year.
More "reform" you can't believe in.
