At 10:00 am, the independent journalist Jorge Dominguez Ibaergoyen was making an interview in the house of a young mother, who has a child with nutritional problems and to whom the government had not helped. Suddenly, a lady who claimed to be the young mother's aunt appeared and pulled the journalist Jorge outside and started to throw stones at him and shout "counterrevolutionary". As all this happened near to the State Security Unit, he was taken there. Captain Orlando Figueroa tried to take his camera and his cellphone, but Jorge refused to do it, so the Security official told him that if he had to kill him to take it, he would do it. Having no warrant for arrest against Jorge, he evaded the Security unit. He was summoned for Monday 4-1-2016 but then they canceled the citation until further notice.
