On April 7, 11 activists including Bartolo Cantillo Romero went to church to discuss the issue of repression in Guantanamo UNPACU activists. State Security in conjunction with the police and rapid action groups surrounded the church to arrest and beat them. After three hours of offense against peaceful activists bishop Wilfredo Pino pulled them in cars of bishopric taking them home. Such actions as this one does not allow free movement, they are part of the repression that is living on the island.
