    - Damas de Blanco carried out a rare Saturday march -

    The Ladies in White

    Cuba's "Ladies in White" or Damas de Blanco carried out a rare Saturday march on March 17, with around 35 women participating. On March 18, between 50 and 60 Damas and Dama supporters marched down Fifth Avenue, then took part in a videoteleconference with former political prisoners in Miami.
    The Ladies, relatives of political prisoners, have since 2003 marched each Sunday in silent protest against the Cuban Government's incarceration of their loved ones.  Members of the group, which received the European Parliament's Sakharov Prize in 2005, are subjected to intense harassment from the regime, including "acts of repudiation" and house arrest.
