Lady in White detained while heading to Mass and threatened



Celina Osoria Claro was on her way to the Santa Catalina de Ricci Church in order to attend Mass which is organized there every Sunday. When she was passing through Los Maceos Street and 3 Sur, State Security officials known as Víctor Víctor and Luis Ángel or Roberto detained her. Then she was taken to the police unit known as Parque 24. There she was told by the officials that she was just showing off when posting her no-voting-photos on her Facebook profile. She was threatened that if she continued, they would cut off her Internet connection. She was released at about 6 pm on the same day without any further consequences.
