On Thursday, nearly 20 Cuban dissidents organized a surprise protest at the offices of Castro's Chief Prosecutor.
They protested on behalf of political prisoners, Zaqueo Baez, Maria Josefa Acon and Ismael Boris, who were arrested over a month ago and are being held incommunicado for approaching Pope Francis during his Mass in Havana.
Thursday's protesters called for the respect of human rights and dispersed pamphlets throughout the premises. They were then able to quickly disperse through the streets of Havana.

Tonight, the Castro regime has launched a manhunt for the protesters.
Their homes have been raided and families threatened.
Over a dozen have been arrested and some nearly beaten unconscious, including Vladimir Turro Paez.
The protesters are all members of the Civic Action Front (FAC-Orlando Zapata Tamayo) and the Cuban Patriotic Union (UNPACU).
