On February 26, 2015, we were having an UNPACU meeting in Palma Soriano, when Interior Ministry forces disrupted the session. State Security officials, National Revolutionary Police, rapid response unit and anti-riot police beat us and used pepper spray. I was detained for about four hours. At 8 pm they took me several kilometers outside the town I live in. Among detainees there were also several women treated in the same way.
