More than 200 Cuban activists arrested on another Sunday of repression

Hundreds of Cuban activists took to the streets across the island Sunday to demand the release of all political prisoners, including the three activists who were arrested three weeks ago when they tried to approach Pope Francis in Havana.

The dictatorship responded the same way it has on at least the 24 previous Sundays: With arrests, beatings and other repression.

For more details, see below and/or follow tweets from Cuba-based tweeps that are part of this list. (Note: You don't have to be on Twitter to see the tweets.)
