The activist Fernándo Rodríguez Lovaina was attacked by several people who verbally offended him by shouting, "worm, counter-revolutionary", among other insults, when he expressed himself about the situation of imprisonment in which the leader of the Patriotic Union of Cuba (UNPACU) was in. The citizens also told him that he could not be in that establishment, where he met drinking a beer, because they did not want counter-revolutionaries there. The activist claimed his right as a Cuban to be anywhere in Cuba.
