Activist detained by the State Security for recording protest videos



Eider was summoned to the detention center of the State Security (DSE) known as "Operaciones", to comply with former officer Carlos Caraballos. When he arrived at the place they asked for his identity card at the door and they sent him in to enter and wait until they called him. After waiting for a while, the officer known as Carlos interrogated him, along with the officer known as Sergio. They told him that he was in a pact between the governments of Cuba and the United States where he intended to emigrate, that he could not continue working on the complaint videos and that he should calm down until completing the paperwork. They threatened that this was against the treaties between the two countries, which could bring some problems, avoiding an international incident, to what Eider replied that he would continue working with the denunciations. He was allowed to leave after around two hours.
