Celina was heading to the Santa Catalina de Ricci Church in order to attend the Sunday Mass. She was carrying a transparent asking for the release of all political prisoners. When she was going in the Los Maceos Street between 3 and 4 Sur, she was stopped by the State Security officials (DSE) along with two officials from the National Revolutionary Police (PNR), all of them without identifying themselves. They detained her and put her in the patrol car no. 605. They were driving her around the city for two hours and they took her on Guatánamo-Santiago Highway, which was approximately six hours from her home, and released her, without any mean of transport for her way back. Celina arrived home at about 11 am without any further consequences.
