Once again, the Cuba secret police arrest Guillermo Fariñas

About

A funeral for a woman who died because of the failure that is Castroite health care gave the Cuban secret police the excuse they needed to arrest Guillermo Fariñas and other activists on Wednesday.

The woman passed away after hospital officials failed to provide her with oxygen and she asphyxiated.

In response, police in Villa Clara rounded up several activists, including Fariñas, the recipient last year of the Sahkarov human rights prize.
