Samuel Salla Cuza, an activist with the Patriotic Union of Cuba (UNPACU), was arrested by Lieutenant Colonel Lesnier Leiva of the Department of State Security (DSE) because he was allegedly spreading false news on social networks. The activist was detained for more than 24 hours under intense interrogation by the aforementioned officer, who even threatened to close the workshop where he worked as a computer engineer. The activist was released, but not before being officially warned for his propaganda and for using social networks to spread false information about the revolution. The activist's phone was also confiscated because he allegedly used these tools to obtain defamatory news about the government.
