An UNPACU activist from Guantánamo was a victim of repudiation act



In the morning, 25 March 2021, Henry Couto Guzmán was detained and transported to the Clodomira Acosta School located in the Reparto Obrero District. There he was a victim of repudiation act. He was presented to the community as a potential criminal and a counterrevolutionary in the service of foreign powers. In the school, there were about 20 people, both officials and people in civilian clothes. The event was supervised and recorded by the head of the Confrontation Unit in the city of Guantánamo known as Jaime Vera or Sergio. There, without any legal assistance, Couto Guzmán also received an official warning since, according to the participants, acting against the Revolution is a crime. Couto Guzmán defended himself by saying that he was a free man and was fighting for the human rights.
