Darsi Ferrer's wife released from jail

Yusnaimi Jorge Soca, the wife of Cuban political prisoner Dr. Darsi Ferrer, was released from jail Thursday, about 7 hours after she was arrested to block her from attending a human rights march in Havana.

The Real Cuba and Cuba Companioni have the details, including audio from an interview with Jorge Soca and an English translation of the transcript.

What always amazes me is how despite the dangers they face, Cuban activists like Jorge Soca and her husband remain committed to confronting the Castro dictatorship on its abuses.

Their courage gives me faith that one day, perhaps very soon, freedom will prevail.
