The activist and coordinator of the Patriotic Union of Cuba (UNPACU) Keyber Rodríguez Fernández was the victim of death threats and imprisonment by Major Alfredo Oliveros and several members of the special brigades, including a non-commissioned officer who asked the State Security Department (DSE) officer if "they were going to kill him". The DSE Major told the counterrevolutionary activist that he was looking to have his house confiscated, and that he should already know that several houses in the country have already been confiscated from people who carry out the same activities as him. The officer also told him not to press his luck and not to believe that because he was sick his house would not be confiscated. Officer Alfredo Oliveros, head of the opposition in the municipality, said that it was better that he remain calm, that he not become unruly because he would not be forgiven.The activist was also threatened by the aforementioned official with being sentenced to two years under the law of pre-criminal social dangerousness and that he did not believe that because José Daniel Ferrer had been released he would be able to do what he wanted.
