Latest: Cuban Artist Re-Arrested for Third Time, Along With a Dozen Dissidents #YoTambienExijo

Renowned Cuban artist Tania Bruguera was arrested for a third time -- in three days -- this afternoon.

On Tuesday, December 30th, she had organized a rights performance entitled #YoTambienExijo, in which Cubans would be given a microphone to express their views in Havana's Revolutionary Square.

For this performance, Bruguera was arrested; accused of "resistance" and "public disorder"; had her passport confiscated and been forbidden from leaving the island.

Today, she went to the Castro regime's prisoner processing center, known as VIVAC, along with democracy leaders Antonio Rodiles, Ailer Maria Gonzalez and a dozen other dissidents, to demand the release of activists who remain imprisoned for seeking to participate in #YoTambienExijo.

Instead, they were all re-arrested.

(Further proof of Castro's quick, revolving-door with political prisoners and how President Obama cut a hollow deal in exchange for normalizing relations and easing sanctions.)
