INHUMANE ACTS COMMITTED BY PARAMILITARY FORCES AGAINST LADIES IN WHITE, WORSEN

"Every Sunday the beatings are worse, but they will have to kill us because we will continue going to mass.”

Santiago de Cuba / August 21, 2011

At 7 a.m. the homes of five human rights defenders in three municipalities in Eastern Cuba were under siege by paramilitary forces and by pro government mobs: three in “Palma Soriano”, one in “Palmarito de Cauto”, and another one in “El Caney”, to prevent the Ladies in White and female supporters from going to the Cathedral of Santiago de Cuba to pray for the freedom of Cuba and of all Cuban political prisoners.
