Categories: Latin America, Cuba, Human Rights, Law, Politics, Protest

Dr. Eloy Gonzalez, a bilingual Cuban doctor resident in Fort Worth Texas, cites a Father's Day greeting from the young daughter of an imprisoned Cuban dissident [1]in order to remind us of the 2004 incident in which the girl, along with the “Ladies in White” [2] (a group comprising wives and female relatives of a group of Cuban dissidents imprisoned in 2003) were attacked in front of the church in Havana where they meet regularly in peaceful protest.
