Raux Denis Rodríguez was summoned by a State Security official to the 3th Police Unit in Santa Clara. As he received the summons 40 in advance, he could not be there on time due to the distance. For that reason, he was arrested by an officer from the National Revolutionary Police and driven to the police station. There he was interrogated by State Security officials and fined by somebody who introduced himself as an ispector from the Ministry of Communications. Then the State Security officials threatened him with being more rigorous if he he kept publishing on social media. He was released several hours later.
