- On Friday, award-winning Cuban journalist Yoani Sanchez was released after a brief detention in Havana, following her seizure while leaving her home in the Nuevo Vedado neighborhood.

- At least two other prominent Cuban women were arrested Thursday, including The Ladies in White movement leader Berta Soler and member Maria Cristina Labrada, seized "in the middle of the street" as confirmed by Soler's husband Angel Moya.
- Amnesty International demanded Cuban authorities "immediately and unconditionally release all those they are holding," while a Spain-based NGO requested "immediate information" on Soler and Labrada's whereabouts Thursday.
- The Ladies in White movement emerged in 2003 following the "imprisonment" of 75 Cuban dissidents during the Black Spring, earning recognition from the European Parliament with the Sakharov Prize in 2005.
