During the phone call, the Senator spoke with Berta Soler, the new leader of the Ladies in White, and Jorge Luis Garcia Perez, "Antunez," a former political prisoner. In speaking with them, Rubio reaffirmed his commitment to support the activists' calls for democracy and the defense of human rights in Cuba.http://www.rubio.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?a=Files.Serve&File_id=9d225010-83f9-4bf3-a1ca-eefb131563e4
