Activist Yanise Martinez Duvergel went to buy food for his family. At that moment, Lieutenant Fran Mestre and an official of State Security, known as Omaní, arrived. They told Yanise that he was being detained. When he asked why, Omaní said they would explain at the police station. Later at the station, the officers showed him a poster that said, "Freedom for political prisoners and just wages for workers". They interrogated and accused him of being the author of the poster. Yanise was threatened and fined 150 pesos.
