The activist Bartolo Cantillo Romero was heading at 6 o'clock in the morning to the headquarters of the UNPACU. There were several police officers and a State Security official Arturo Giovani on the road to Jamaica. They got him out of the bus where he was traveling and they took him in a private Lada car to the station. They told him that they were not going to let him participate in any counterrevolutionary meeting and they threatened him as well. He was released the following day at 8 am, after a day and 2 hours of detention.
