The bravest women in Cuba are the Damas de Blanco (Ladies in White), who march each week so that the world does not forget their imprisoned husbands, fathers, brothers and other relatives in Fidel Castro's gulag.
On Saturday, they marched to commemorate the fourth anniversary of the "black spring."
Apparently, the dictatorship is afraid the world might finally be paying attention.
Laura Pollan, one of the leaders of the Ladies, told the Associated Press that government officials had recently visited her and other leading activists.
"They told us the country was living through difficult moments and that we shouldn't upset public order because the people could attack us," she said.
"Difficult moments?"
Nothing but for Pollan's husband, Hector Maseda, for the past four years.
Nothing but for Cuba, for the past 48.
