Ladies in White receive Sakharov Peace Prize
seals
HAVANA, February 22 (Shelyn Rojas / www.cubanet.org)
- Members of the dissident Ladies in White,
who protest the imprisonment of husbands
and other relatives, received Sakharov peace
prize seals last weekend.
The Ladies in White were co-winners of
the 2005 peace prize awarded by the European
parliament, but were unable to attend as
the Cuban government refused to give them
exit visas.
After attending mass on Saturday at the
Cathedral, the ladies went to the home of
Laura Pollán, wife of imprisoned
journalist Héctor Maseda Gutiérrez,
where the seals were distributed.
There was also a literary tea in honor
of a book written by Cuban-American singer
Gloria Estefan, which was dedicated to the
ladies.
