40 days later, Cuban activists arrested at Papal Mass remain in jail

Forty days after they were arrested for approaching Pope Francis before he celebrated Mass in Havana, three anti-Castro activists remain in jail. As such, their plight has become a rallying point for activists with the Patriotic Union of Cuba, or UNPACU, one of the more active opposition groups on the island.

Their names must not be forgotten: Zaqueo Báez Guerrero, María Josefa Acón Sardiñas and Ismael Boris Reñí.
