Lawyer and human rights activist threatened before his release from Guantánamo prison



Roberto de Jesus Quiñones Haces was unfairly sentenced to one year in prison for disrespect and disobedience. On 4 September, 2020, when his sentence was over and he was about to be released, the State Security (DSE) official known as Sergio invited him to the Internal Order Office located in the prison. There he threatened him and told him to stop working for Cubanet. If he still continued, they would make a fake video for the Cuban TV where they would announce in the news that Roberto was an agent working for the DSE. Moreover, they would put him again to jail.
