The activist expressed his disagreement with those acts and with the Cuban government (yelling “down with Fidel, down with Raúl”). The members of the committee also demonstrated against him. Soon after that, the activist was arrested by the Revolutionary Police, in less than a week he was charge and sentenced to one year prison for the crime of contempt.
