Independent journalist violently arrested by police in his house



Boris González Arenas was violently arrested by the National Revolutionary Police agents at about 3 pm, 6 February, 2020. The officials entered his house by force, they dragged him out and handcuffed him. First, he was taken to the police station in Zapata y C and later driven to the one in San Miguel del Padrón. Presumably, the arrest took place because González Arenas had not attended police summons he had been invited for earlier.
