The events occurred in Palma Soriano, when the relatives of a hospitalized child tried to see him, after coming from Havana. One of the custodians denied access, so one of the relatives decided to ask for support from the Director in order to allow him to pass. When he goes to see the Director, he spots that two custodians are beating one of his relatives who just wanted to get into to see the child, so they had to defend themselves. After the fight, they went to the police, who told them that there was nothing they could do.
