Juan Eduardo Salgado Jurado is detained and falsely accused of putting up anti-government signs



When Juan Eduardo Salgado Jurado was at home, two agents from the national police knocked on the door. They forced him to get in a patrol car, where the agent of the political police, Camilo, already was. Thereupon they took him to the center of operations of state security, where they locked him in an office and left him alone for a long time. After some hours, Lieutenant Colonel Oscar Izáis, the agent of the political police Morgan, and Camilo entered. In the manner of a blackmailer they started to accuse him of putting up a sign that said "Down with Fidel." They were aware that he had brought some crayons from Santiago de Cuba. After several hours of false accusations, they threatened him and incited them to work with them, and once they saw that they could not convince him, they released him.
