Activist Raul was prevented her from traveling to another municipality



Raul Rodriguez Hernandez was heading to UNPACU headquarters in Santiago de Cuba when the bus where he was traveling was detained at the point set by the political police in order to prevent opponents from reaching other municipalities. Raul was forced to get of the bus by the policemen who - from the moment of the arrest - began to tell him that he was scum, counterrevolutionary and more. He was threatened by the agent Dairon with imprisonment. He also stressed that for moving from his house, he had to ask them for permission. After 6 hours, he was released.
