Cuban citizen arrested on dubious evidence and ended up out of work

A Cuban citizen who worked in a real estate company asked for unpaid leave from her job because her father was ill and she had to go and take care of him. Despite medical treatment her father died. When she tried to return to work on 10th April 2019, the agent from the Technical Department of Investigation (DTI) who runs her company arrested her in front of all her colleagues. At the time of the arrest the officer told her that he would take her to 100 and Aldabo in Boyeros, Havana, for questioning about a criminal investigation against her. He also told her to call her family so that they would know that she would not return and to look for her daughters at school and wait for news of her. The DTI agent asked the director of the company for a car to take her away, on the way he referred her to whom he was going to see and left her to continue on her own. When the citizen arrived at the station she was attended to by the instructor who informed her that she had been arrested for illegal economic activity as she had an unregistered travel agency in her home. She said they had a record of calls from her landline phone from which several people had been arranged to leave the country. The citizen explained that some childhood friends wanted to set up this agency and so they carried out a feasibility study to see if it would work, taking her home as the agency centre, but as the costs were very high they gave up and never managed to arrange any departure from the country. Since nothing was proven, they let her go that same day. However, because of what happened, in the real estate agency where she worked, they did not want her to continue working. The citizen has no job to take care of her home and her minor daughters.
