A citizen from Baracoa threatened by police and the CDR with imprisonment

On 23 March 2021, Alcides Santos Calas was visited by police along with a house inspector and the chief of the local Committees for the Defense of the Revolution (CDR). The goal was to prevent Alcides from providing testimony and expressing criticism to independent journalists about his critical living conditions and a related state inaction. During the visit, Alcides was mistreated and threatened by sector police chief Clape. This official threatened him that by doing that, he would make his situation even worse and moreover, he would end up in prison.
