Another violent attack on Cuban opposition women by Castro regime-led mob
The violent and brutal attacks by Castro regime-led mobs on female members of Cuba's opposition continue. On Saturday, more than ten opposition women and men, including Ladies in Support, were viciously attacked and beaten by mobs sent by the dictatorship of Raul and Fidel Castro before they were arrested by State Security.

More than ten activists and Ladies in Suport in Santiago de Cuba arrested and beaten
"They were forced to come out to the street where they began to beat the women and men," according to former political prisoner Jose Daniel Ferrer.
More than ten Ladies in Support and activists were beaten and arrested on Saturday in Santiago de Cuba at the end of an act of repudiation that lasted more than 24 hours in the neighborhood of Santa Barbara.
"They forced them to come out to the street in pairs, threatening to beat down their door. Once they were on the street, they began to beat the women and the men," reported the former political prisoner Jose Daniel Ferrer Garcia on the blog Háblalo sin miedo.
More than 10 activists were arrested, and several of them had to be transported to a hospital because of injuries from the beating they received.
Among those beaten and arrested are: Ana Celia Rodríguez, Adriana Núñez, Julia Cairot, Doraisa Corrioso, Eunicia Madaula, Maximiliano Sánchez Perera, Juan Carmelo Bermúdez and Samuel Le Blanc.
Attorney Ernesto Vera had been detained and beaten earlier.
"The leader of this violent action was a political police major named Dorki," added Jose Daniel Ferrer, coordinator for the Cuban Patriotic Union.

Take note, if this is how they treat somebody of support, how do you think the opposition will be silenced were they to take control (we do have examples, you know)? [...]
