On the night of May 9th, Lázaro Yuri Valle Roca was charged and almost hit by a car without a license plate on Avenue 26. As they slowed down and drove away, they called him from a private number and told him they wouldn't miss the next time. Lázaro recognized that the voice was that of a State Security officer he had interacted with. Some days later, the same man came to visit Lázaro and told him ironically he would take care of him. He told him that bad things could happen to him and if he didn't want to be in danger of similar situations happening, or worse, then he would stop being an independent journalist.
