Citizen arrested, interrogated and threatened by state agents to get information about opponents



In the morning, a Cuban citizen was arrested at his home by the sector chief, First Lieutenant Carlos Gaisa, and by the informant Angel Ruenes. The citizen was taken to the unit of the National Revolutionary Police (PNR) where he remained for several hours under intense interrogation by the officer of the Department of State Security (DSE), who wanted the detainee to tell him who were the ones who wrote some anti-government signs that appeared written on the walls of a water pumping booth that the government had built in that neighborhood. The detainee could not provide him with this information, so the officer threatened to prosecute him for allegedly working in the masonry without a license. In addition, the officer proposed that he work for them by watching the activist Keyber Rodriguez Fernandez since the house of this activist is adjacent to his home, he also told him that he had to watch all the people who visited the opponent at any time of the day or night. Finally, the citizen was released after being warned by the DSE that, if he did not do what they asked, his situation could get complicated.
