Human rights defender threatened by a State Security officer



The victim was at work, when her brother came to inform her, that a policeman had come to her house in order to ask her to come to the National Revolutionary Police Office. If not, the police would send a patrol car and arrest her. When the victim arrived, a Captain from the State Security was already waiting for her. Supposedly, he was a chief of El Combinado Prison, however, according to the information of the victim, he was Major Sergio, one of the provincional police chiefs. He threatened her with being fired and with imprisonment. He said that her case was an open judicial process and due to that, she could go to the prison for her supposedly revolutionary activities. He also said that her mum would be fired from her job and that her brother would be placed into an alternative school for troubled youth.
