Police confiscates personal items from UNPACU editor’s house



The police entered the house of the victim and confiscated a PC, a compact disk, USB drives, various printed materials and videos from the university and magazines. After that, the victim was detained and threatened in the presence of her children (9 and 5 years old) and her mother. Then she was driven to the prison cell in the 3rd Police Department where she was kept for 24 hours. During the detention, she was threatened with going to jail, because she did not pay the fine she had been given last time. The victim works as an editor in UNPACU (Patriotic Union of Cuba), so the police is still following her, probably to find an excuse to confiscate her cell phone.
