Son and his mother detained in their house

The supporter of Ladies in White Yunior Alberto Freyre Escalona was detained along with his mother that is a member of Ladies in White. They were arrested so that they would not attend Sunday Mass at the Church Cristo Redentor de los Hombres in Holguín held by the Ladies in White and the UNPACU. From the early morning hours, the political police placed patrol cars, motorcycles and uniformed and plainclothes officers in front of their house. They detained Yunior and his mother there. Rosa was taken to the unit of criminal investigation, where she remained in a hot and pestilential cell. They threatened her with death if she continued with her activism. The two were beaten during their detention. They were allowed to leave approximately 27 hours after being detained.
