A Lady in White, Celina Osoria Claro, was travelling by bus to the Havana Province in order to see her younger daughters who were just visiting their father. When the bus was passing through the police checkpoint in Río Frío, the police stopped the vehicle and Celina had to get off the bus. Then she was taken to the police unit in the municipality of San Antonio del Sur. There she was kept for about 72 hours and then released, however she was not allowed to continue her way to Havana.
