UNPACU coordinator from Baracoa is threatened by State Security and PNR agents to have his head cut off on the eve of International Human Rights Day

On December 9, 2020, in the afternoon, the major of State Security and head of confrontation with the opposition, Alfredo Oliveros and Police (PNR) Lieutenant Feyo Nicle Hernández presented themselves in the house in the Bermejal neighbourhood, where the headquarters of the UNPACU cell is situated, to threaten the activist Keyber Rodríguez Fernández with detaining him if he dared to carry out any activity on the streets of the city on 10 of December, or if he dared to send someone to write any type of signs or put up posters on the walls of some part of the city. The activist replied to the uniformed man that he was a free man and as such he acted, that he, nor anyone else, could tell him what to do, that he had a responsibility to continue striving for the freedom of the Cuban people and that, even while limping, he was going to fulfil his obligation, and that they were not going to prevent him from fulfilling it. Same way that the officers had an obligation to defend what they considered fair, he also considered that it was just what he defended. The major of the State Security told the activist that their orders were to cut off the head to anyone who ventured outside of his house. Both the State Security officer Alfredo Oliveros and the PNR Lieutenant Feyo Nicle used all kinds of threats against the activist Keyber Rodríguez Fernández, insinuating that they were not going to have mercy on him, despite his condition of a hemiplegic, as they weren't going to lose their job because of anyone. Since the manifestation of the artists of the San Isidro Movement, the regime took a strong stance against activists because it does not want to risk losing power, therefore it feels obligated to stand up to anyone who represents a challenge. The officials also said they didn’t care who loses their life. By using threats against Keyber, the Baracoa UNPACU coordinator, the officer violated article # 20, which says that everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association. The regime lies when it says that it does not violate anyone's human rights, that there are no political prisoners in Cuba, or that no one is beaten in Cuba's prisons.
