A human rights defender in Guantánamo, Arturo Acosta Guillén, was summoned by official Wilson to the police station known as Parque 24 at 9 am. When he arrived, he was received and interrogated by official Mijail who was asking him questions about his possible link to a clandestine group. Also, the official was telling him about his friendship with an activist Niober García Fournier. Arturo replied that he was not linked to this group, and added, that he did not agree with a profanation of José Martí. The official warned him that he should not use social media to spread the fake news and that the enemies of the Revolution will be treated with no mercy. Finally, they asked the activist to put a piece of cloth in his underwear in order to make an odor testing.
