Alfredo was arbitrarily arrested, handcuffed and taken by pushing by political police and uniformed national police. He was driven to the police station where he was indicted for an alleged crime of disorderly conduct without justified reasons and taken to the cell where he remained for three days. After his release, he received no explanation of the detention.
Alfredo thinks that the reason for his detention was due to the celebration of the Human Rights Day that occurred the day before, when Alfredo interviewed some people with a camera and made a delivery of documents with antigovernment information.
