The UNPACU activist Dianelys was going to the Church of El Cobre to participate in the Mass celebrated by the Ladies in White. When she was passing through the military checkpoint located on the road to El Cobre, police stopped the transport where Dianelys was traveling and ordered her to get off the transport to prevent her from reaching the church. She was detained for 2 hours, so she could not participate in the Mass.
