Celina detained more than 12 hours for passing through the city



Around 6 am, Celina intended to participate in the Mass of the Church of Santa Catalina de Ricci, as Ladies in White do every Sunday. When she was passing through Calixto García Street and Camilo Cienfuegos Avenue, the State Security (DSE) Officer known as Kevin(Jefferson) intercepted her and told her not to travel through that area until after 9 am. Celina protested against the injustice and was detained and then led to the detention center of the DSE called Operations. She was released around 7 pm the same day.
