Women stage protest march in Santa Clara
SANTA CLARA, Cuba, December
8 (Guillermo Fariñas, Cubanacán
Press / www.cubanet.org) - Ten Opposition
women marched through the center of Santa
Clara on Sunday in a protest against the
imprisonment of political dissidents.
The women, all members of the Marta Abreu
Feminine Movement, met at Nuestra Señora
del Buen Viaje church, where they prayed
for the release of prisons before undertaking
their march.
Dressed in white, they marched to the Leoncio
Vidal Park, where they laid a wreath of
gladiolas at the statue of Marta Abreu de
Estévez, the city's benefactor.
"We were under surveillance by the
political police and some paramilitaries
at all times, but we were never bothered,"
said Noelia Pedraza Jiménez, president
of the organization, which was founded last
month.
