State Security officers destroy the home of a Cuban citizen and beat him for peacefully defending it.



"On November 15, 2021, in the city of Guantánamo, at around 5:40 in the morning, officers of the State Security Service went to the home of activist Henry Couto Guzmán and damaged his property, breaking doors and even tried to set fire to it with nylon and papers. The activist came out to respond peacefully, explaining that their actions were violations committed against him by the regime. The officers then ordered Mr. Couto to be beaten and pushed in order to take him inside his house. Even more rapid response officers arrived at the house and offended and threatened him."
