Department of State Security agent threatens man after tapping his Telegram conversations



Junior received a visit from "Major Oriol", an agent of the Department of State Security. He mentioned to him that in a Telegram group, tapped by said department, it was noticed that he advised a rape victim to take legal action against his perpetrators. Agent Oriol told him that he was no one to give legal advice to other people or to participate in matters that did not correspond to him, and threatened that if he continued to carry out this type of actions, he would be charged with illegal attribution of functions and incitement to rebellion. Before leaving the house, Agent Oriol reminded Junior that he had a history of being a counterrevolutionary, that his communications would continue to be monitored, and that if he were to give advice again, he would be charged and imprisoned.
