Members of "Ladies in White," a group of relatives of jailed Cuban dissidents, gather for a meeting where a photograph of late Cuban dissident Orlando Zapata Tamayo hangs on the wall in Havana, Tuesday, March 16, 2010. Zapata, who was jailed since 2003 on charges including disrespecting authority, died March 23, 2010. Amnesty international appealed to Cuban President Raul Castro to release political prisoners and scrap laws that restrict fundamental freedoms, using the seventh anniversary of a major crackdown on dissent to call for change. The words on the wall read in Spanish "Long live human rights," left, and "Long live Zapata." (AP Photo/Franklin Reyes)
