Among those arrested in Havana were Zaqueo Baez, Maria Acon and Ismael Boris, the three Cuban dissidents who were just released last week after spending over a month in prison for approaching Pope Francis.
Ironically, they had joined The Ladies in White in their Sunday march to thank them for all of the pressure and solidarity on their behalf.
Finally, five members of The Ladies in White from the province of Matanzas, who joined the Havana march, remain missing after their arrest.
It's "what change looks like" in Obama's Cuba.
