« 3 Cuban human rights activists violently arrested during protest in Havana | Main | Mother's Day a day of protests for freedom in Venezuela »

If's Sunday -- and even if it's Mother's Day -- it's time for more repression in Cuba

Even on Sunday, Mother's Day, political repression in Cuba did not take a break.

Considering it's doubtful that the Castro brothers, and those who do their biddings, actually had mothers, that may not be a surprise.

As you can see below in a tweet from activist and former prisoner of conscience Ivan Hernandez Carrillo, one of many Cuban "Ladies In White," or Dama De Blanco, arrested Sunday was Alejandrina Garcia, who I had the honor meeting last year during her visit to Tampa.

God bless her and others on the front lines in the fight against the Castro regime.

And Happy Mother's Day.
