.- Cuban dissident Martha Beatriz Roque Cabello said this week a group of women from the Damas de Blanco (“Women of White”), an organization made of up of wives and mothers of political prisoners, were harassed by individuals connected with the government after participating in the celebrations for Palm Sunday. According to Roque Cabello, 30 members of the Damas de Blanco were intercepted by 200 women, who physically harassed them while chanting pro-Castro slogans.
Roque-Cabello, who was released from prison for health reasons several months ago, said the harassment took place away from where foreign press was so that reporters would not take notice.
