The Regime's Fear of Sara Martha Fonseca

BY: THE HILL

Cuban pro-democracy leader Sara Martha Fonseca and her husband Julio Ignacio Leon remain imprisoned and on a hunger strike since their arrest on September 24th.

She is in poor health due to police beatings and the effects of the hunger strike. Meanwhile, her husband has already been transferred to a military hospital.

Last month, Fonseca led a protest on the steps of the Capitol building in Havana, where the regime's attempts to violently suppress it were initially thwarted by the solidarity of gathering crowds.

Obviously afraid of Fonseca's peaceful advocacy and the sympathy she garners, the Castro regime is now threatening to charge her with "disobedience," which in Cuba's dictatorship carries a heavy prison term.
