In January of 2011, García de la Riva joined her husband in a hunger strike to demand his release and the release of all Cuban political prisoners. After eleven days, she ended her strike but continued to protest for the release of her husband, despite his refusal to accept forced exile along with 10 other political prisoners. González Marrero was released after 8 years in prison on February 27, 2011. García de la Riva and González Marrero have been allowed to remain in Cuba.
