In the afternoon, on 17 November 2020, an activist from the Cuban Patriotic Union (UNPACU), Roberto González Guzmán, was detained by National Revolutionary Police (PNR) officials, Captain Gianny Clape Rodríguez and Major Bryan Torres Hurgelles. The detention took place based on a complain that the activist was criticizing the above-mentioned official Torres Hurgelles.
