2 prominent Cuban activists arrested in Santa Clara

Two prominent Cuban anti-government activists -- Guillermo Farinas and former Group of 75 prisoner of conscience Librado Linares -- were among 17 dissidents arrested Thursday when they took to the streets of Santa Clara to protest the arrest of other activists.

And you still wonder why the dictatorship tried so hard to force Linares and other Group of 75 prisoners to take overseas exile?

The arrests were part of a vicious series of repressive moves by the dictatorship to target the opposition.

There was no information tonight on the whereabouts of the those arrested.
