Celina Osoria Claro was at home when two State Security (DSE) officials known as Víctor Víctor and Luis Ángel or Roberto appeared in front of her house. They detained her, put her in the patrol car no. 263 and took her to the police unit known as Parque 24. There, the DSE officials subjected her to an interrogation and reminded her that they had already talked twice about her husband Bartolo. They told her that they would give her a big fine because she was keeping trying to get to the headquarters of the Cuban Patriotic Union (UNPACU) in the Santiago de Cuba Province in order to bring and spread propaganda in Guantánamo Province. Because of that, the officials continued, they will search her house again and will take away the rest what had left after the last house search. She was released at about 6 pm on the same day without any further consequences.
