Activist detained when talking to his friends about the crisis in Cuba



On that day in the morning hours, the activist was meeting his friends on the central square known as Cacique Hatuey. They were talking about the crisis which the country is currently facing. Suddenly, the police chief known as Cornelio approached them and asked the activist for his ID. Then he detained him and took him to the police station in Baracoa. There he was given an official warning for "speaking badly about the revolution" and banned from visiting public places. He was detained for about two hours and then released.
