If you have doubts about how afraid the Castro regime is of the Damas De Blanco, the brave woman who since 2003 have stood up the dictatorship to demand justice, consider how the political police and other goons targeted the women for repression this weekend.
And today in Havana, where Castro thugs rounded up 40 Damas and took them away in buses, when after Sunday Mass they tried to place a wreath at a statue of Jose Marti.
The Castro police always know where the Damas are, especially on Sunday when they go to Mass. The goons act with impunity.
Which is why Pope Benedict XVI should postpone his planned visit in late March to Cuba. The visit was part of a quid pro quo between the regime and the church, but continued repression of women trying to go to Mass should not have been part of the deal.
If you agree that the pope should postpone his visit until human rights conditions improve in Cuba, sign this petition.
