The group is made up of female relatives of 75 Cuban political prisoners, seized in March 2003.
Those arrested included human rights activists, journalists, and librarians. They were given jail sentences of up to 28 years.
Never heard of them
The Ladies in White go to Mass each Sunday wearing white dresses and then walk silently through the streets carrying flowers and pictures of their loved ones.
