Graciela Domínguez Girón is an activist from the Cuban Patriotic Union (UNPACU). On that day, she was heading to the Basilica Santuario del Cobre in order to attend an event organized by UNPACU - Todos Marchamos. When she was already in the car with other activists, she was taken out by force by political police officers Girón and Abel along with members of the national police. After that, Graciela was put in a car and driven outside the city so she could not arrive on time in El Cobre.
