On the 27th Anairis Mirand Leiva, who is a representative of the Comando Olegario Charlot from the Cuban Movement Reflection (MCR) from Holguín, together with her relatives were victims of offenses, threats, and visible harrasment. Since early in the morning a set of repressive organizations such as the State Security, the Fast Response groups and the ordinary Police with the patrol number 490 took the corner in front of her house and shouted offenses and intimidations, mocking and threatened with beating and killing them. They were yelling at them that they would do the "Caldosa" (Cuban dish) next to the window of her house, that they would hang the flag of the 26th of July, and if they dared to oppose this, they would break their heads by beating them. The command post was installed in the house of the Castrista leader Pedro Bermúdez Ávila and his wife Carmen Sánchez, where they installed members of the Communist Young Union (UJC), and a group of young people dressed with elementary school uniforms, all of them were men, tall, corpulent, and they were from outside of the neighborhood, including Captain Daniel Torres (Chief of the Institution of Reeducation of Minors with problems of behavior in the province) who kept standing in front of the house in a hostile position. At midnight, a bus with Castro's partisans arrived, who along the others got drunk, danced, did acts of repudiation, and hung the flag of the 26th of July in the window, which made the activists to protest, causing finally the removal of the flag. Then, the drunk communists kicked the door and the window as they praise the revolution and its leaders.
