At 8 pm, on 5 February 2021, Henry Couto Guzmán, an activist from the Cuban Patriotic Union (UNPACU), was detained in a pharmacy near the policlinic and driven to the police unit called Parque 24 in the city of Guantánamo. When he got there, he received a fine in the amount of 2000 pesos. “This is a present for the posters which had appeared in Guantánamo,” told him State Security official Víctor. “You will receive much more until you end up in the prison. Let’s see whether José Daniel Ferrer will help you,” threatened him the official.
