Independent journalist from Camagüey subjected to a house search and threats

Yadisley Rodríguez Ramírez was detained in her house after a house search (so-called allanamiento) carried out by several policemen, speacial troops and State Security (DSE) agents known as Frank and Maikel and some other ones who did not identify themselves. Yadisley was already about to go to bed when the policemen and special troops known as Boinas Negras entered the courtyard. They asked her about Rolando Rodríguez Lobaina who is a director of the Palenque Vision agency and had visited the house earlier that day. After that, they opened the door of the house and the rest of military men, in total about 30, entered. Then they carried out the house search and confiscated a laptop and Yadisley's and her husband's cell phones. Then Yadisley was subjected to threats with imprisonment and removing her custody of her three children if he continued with independent journalism. This took about 12 hours and then they let her be.
