On March 17, a general search was carried out in the provincial prison of Guantánamo, where Yanier Joubert Cisneros, coordinator of the Orlando Zapata Tamayo Political Prison (PPOZT) is being held. The prison guards took part in the search and tried to provoke the prisoner by verbally abusing him and confiscated his medicines for gastritis (gastrigel and Chaukosqui balsam) and a packet of Amixilina, to treat a toothache, which he had in his belongings. The prison does not have these medicines, so the ones he had were taken by his relatives.
