UNPACU activist repeatedly bullied by the State Security in Guantánamo



Miguel Ángel López Herrera was a victim of kidnapping organized by the State Security on 23 July, 2020. His personal belongings were stolen, he was then beaten up by the State Security officials and police and then left outside completely naked. Because of that, López Herrera decided to go on a hunger strike in order to get his belongings back and to warn against the state repression. On 6 August, 2020, in the afternoon, he was a victim of the act of repudiation (acto de repudio) carried out by organizations close to the regime. He was called "worm" among other insults. The whole action was prepared under the supervision of the State Security and Major Sergio.
