Ladies in white defy police on Father's
Day
HAVANA, June 23 (www.cubanet.org) - Dressed
in white and each carrying a gladiola, 22
wives, mothers and sisters of imprisoned
dissidents marked Father's Day in a park
near the Santa Rita de Casia Church in the
Miramar section of the capital.
After attending Mass, the women marched
nearly a mile to the park, under the gaze
of police officers.
Once in the park, Alejandrina García
de la Riva, wife of prisoner of conscience
Diosdado González Marrero, read a
document denouncing his imprisonment in
the Kilo 5 ½ prison in Pinar del
Rio.
Bárbara Rojo Arias, wife of independent
journalist Omar Ruiz Hernández, read
a poem from her husband, "No te rindas,"
"Never give up," sent from his
cell in the Guantanamo provincial prison.
