Political Strife in Havana

Six women known as the "Ladies in White," stood silent for quite some time as on-lookers shouted out insults and pro-revolution. Apparently the women are demanding freedom for their husbands and sons.

Upon leaving church, they were forcefully ushered to a nearby park by pro-government supporters. Despite the longevity of the demonstration by the "Ladies in White," the women responded by sstaying on their feet the and silently staring at them.

The "Ladies in white" don't seem to be receiving the response that they may strive for, albeit Cuba is receiving some negative attention from abroad because of the intimidation factor and the violence used against these women.
