A government statement carried by Cuba's official media attacked the women's protest for being a "provocation ... ordered by their Yankee masters".
State-run television showed photos of the women meeting with Michael Parmly, the head of the U.S. Interests Section in Havana, which a commentator called "the headquarters of the Cuban counterrevolution."
Meanwhile, the U.S. diplomatic mission in Havana denounced the actions taken against the protesters and noted that the women have the right to free assembly based on human rights treaties signed by Cuba.
