Arbitrarily detained when going to mass



The Lady in White, Sonia Alvarez Campillo, left her house to participate in the monthly meeting of the female organization when she noticed the police operation. On the Central Highway, an officer of the Political Police intervened and told her that she could not continue. She was taken to the police station in a police car. Once in the unit, they took her to an office located on the top floor. After about two hours they moved her to the dining room where she remained until she was released. They did not take the corresponding arrest record or allow her a telephone call as established by law.
