Cuban opposition leader detained by State Security twice in less than a week

This is the “social justice” and “equality” experienced by Afro Cuban women in communist Cuba. This is socialism in action.

Second illegal detention of Berta Soler in less than a week

Berta Soler, the leader of the Ladies in White opposition movement, was detained by State Security agents on Wednesday as she rode on a public bus in Havana. The activist was taken off the P13 bus and held in a police car for 20 minutes without any reason for the detention given.

“At around 9:30 AM I was taken down off bus P13 at Calzada de Porvenir, near La Palma, and detained by a DSE agent who called himself Arturo along with two uniformed police officers. They put me inside a police car and later released me at the corner of Martinez and D, near the headquarters of the Ladies in White,” said Soler on Facebook.

The activist told Radio Television Martí that after she was released at the corner of her home, which serves as the national headquarters of the Ladies in White, she was told she was not allowed to leave her house, but was not given the reasons for the prohibition.

“They told me I couldn’t go out and I was under surveillance, that I should stay quiet, without giving me an explanation for the detention or for the surveillance,” said Soler.

A few hours later, she posted on Facebook that the Ladies in White headquarters was under surveillance since the early morning hours by a combination of police and State Security agents.

  1. And this matters? Please. If Soler got raped by police while in custody, it would still be ignored.

    Even though she’s much blacker than Kamala Harris, the usual suspects are just not interested, least of all the black ones. To paraphrase OJ’s lawyer, “If it doesn’t fit, you must omit.”
