Within a few months fighting the government in the fight against conflict, friends and relatives say some of the protesters were arrested on Monday when planners called on citizens to take to the streets to protest against the government and demand the release of prisoners arrested following a series of demonstrations in July.

Arrested were Manuel Cuesta Morua, 58, and Berta Soler, a Ladies in White rights leader, and her husband Angel Moya, a former political prisoner.

Another government opponent, Guillermo Farinas, was was arrested Friday.

Garcia tried to stage a private protest on Sunday but was prevented from leaving his home by government officials who also hung Cuban flags on the roof of his house, hiding his windows so that he could not speak to anyone outside.

The flags were still on Monday and the guard was standing at the door.
