Juana Gamboa Leiva, mother of the coordinator of the opposition group Patriotic Union of Cuba (UNPACU), was sleeping at home when at 4:30 am officers with weapons for assault teared down the door of her house and they took her - punching and pushing - to the police car. They searched her house without any warrant and without witnesses, they took 320 booklets of Watchtower (as she is Jehovah's Witness religious), two cameras, a charger and a cell phone. During the register, Juana's blood pressure rose and she suffered a pain on her chest so she had to be admitted to hospital to cardiology.
