Yeris Curvelo Aguilera was summoned for the second time in two days to the police unit in Caimanera. This time it was because he published on the social media some details about his previous summons where he had been threatened with a fine 3000 pesos for publishing on social media. When Yeris arrived for his second summons, he was received by State Security official known as First Lieutenant Bisotuar, along with an inspector from the Ministry of the Interior (MININT) who interrogated him. They told him that he would be fined 3000 pesos for his posts against Raúl and Díaz-Canel on his Facebook profile. This is, according to the officials, a way to disgrace the leaders of the country and it violates the article 370. Then they gave Yeris an official warning for publishing statements against the leaders of the Revolution on the social media. Yeris refused to sign the document.
