In the afternoon hours, Miguel Ángel López Herrera, political exprisoner, was a victim of act of repudiation in his partner´s house. The attack was lead by Rapid Response Unit instructed by State Security. They threw stones on their house and insulted them. Moreover, they threatened them with beating them with stick, regardless of the fact, that Miguel´s partner Tamara is pregnant. The reason why it happened was the fact that Miguel publicly shouted slogans such as "Down with Fidel", "Down with Raúl" and "The Castros are letting the nation starve!". Miguel and his partner have already been facing several attacks in the past.
