It has become disturbingly obvious that the thuggish agents of the Castro dictatorship's political police take perverse pleasure in brutalizing the women of the Cuban opposition. Incidents like the ones depicted in the photographs above where you can see the violent and brutal manner in which defenseless and peaceful female human rights activists are arrested by the thugs of the Castro regime are becoming more common across Cuba. The lack of respect by the Castro dictatorship for human rights in Cuba is a half-century long tradition, but the increasing violence against defenseless women is an alarming development that shows not only how desperate and fearful the tyrannical regime has become, but also how low they are willing to stoop in order to stay in power.

The violent arrests documented in these photographs are of activists Yris Perez Aguilera and Donaida Perez Paseiro when the two women attempted to leave Perez Aguilera's home to seek medical treatment for the injuries she has received in previous beatings by thugs of the Castro political police. These images clearly illustrate the deathly fear that has gripped the Castro dictatorship. The regime views its position as so precarious, that it feels it cannot even afford to allow these two unarmed and peaceful women to walk freely through their town.

Uncommon Sense has the report on the arrests, and Notes from the Cuban Exile Quarter has more photographs of the injuries sustained by Yris Perez Aguilera from the beatings administered to her during her multiple arrests.
