Francisco was arbitrarily detained and fined with 2000 CUP

Francisco Rangel Manzano was with other activists in the house of the Lady of White Caridad Burunate Gómez because of her summons of members of the police and their collaborators. One of the collaborators grabbed his testicles in front of them, that called attention to Rangel Manzano. The immediate response of one of the Interior Ministry officials, apparently the head of the operation, was to order his detention. Suddenly, Rangel was put in the police car number 832 and driven to the Colón Police Station. The rest of the officials and a small group of collaborators remained shouting obscene phrases to the rest of the activists who remained in the house. Francisco Rangel Manzano was released at 2:50 p.m.; But before that, the police officer with the identification number 14468 imposed a fine of two thousand CUP (2000 USD) for alleged "Resistance". He must pay the fine in 72 hours or he will be sanctioned with prison from 3 months up to a year.
