Hector Palacios, husband of Gisela Delgado, who leads the Cuban Independent Libraries Movement has been freed from prison (unfortunately, due to ill health). However, as Greg of SHUSH (The Notebook) points out today, Cuba still has: "...59 writers, journalists, and librarians sitting in prison (since 2003)." Please check out (I guess it's the librarian in me that caused me to use that term...the good news of Hector Palacios' release has just put me in touch with my sense of humor) both Greg's blog and Walter's FREADOM blog for more information on this story.
Gisela Delgado also heads the Ladies in White, which stages weekly protests in support of the arrested independent librarians and writers. I love the Ladies in White. I also love the Women in Green, an Israel-based organization headed by Ruth and Nadia Matar. To find out more about that organization, please visit its website: www.womeningreen.org
