Cuba: Damas de Blanco
Written byJanine Mendes-Franco
As “a group of Cuban women peacefully demonstrating for the release of their jailed husbands were roughed up by a mob and arrested”, Cuban bloggers speak out…Babalu: “The regime still fears free thinkers and political opposition”; Uncommon Sense: “Freedom in Cuba — for the brave men on whose behalf these women were protesting, and for all Cubans — remains absent”; Child of the Revolution, Ninety Miles Away and Free Thoughts all post photos of the incident.

off the topic question, what does “Damas” stand for? I was just wondering if it has to do with the Syrian capital Damascus.
