Lady in White interrogated and threatened



On March 4, 2016 at 9 am, Olga Lidia Torres Iglesia was summoned by Sector Chief. He told her that she is not allowed to go to Havana anymore, because she is a member of the Ladies in White and she is a human rights defensor. Ladies in White carry out every Sunday a protest march and demand the release of political prisoners. They restricted Olga´s freedom of movement and told her that if she commented on government publicly, she would be fined. The interrogation, during which she was threatened and intimidated, took about two hours.
