Journalist was threatened and insulted by the PNR for an article



At 11:45 am, two local PNR officers (National Revolutionary Police) on a motorbike appeared and handed over an official citation to the police unit for the ICLEP administrative director Albert Corzo Corzo. Later, in the unit, he was interrogated by the State Security officers Ramon de Armas and Alexander Herrera, who threatened him with imprisonment and saying they would not allow more articles with subversive content such as the Brothers to the Rescue, for which - as a reprisal - all the provincial directors of this bulletin were detained. Alberto was insulted by the officers that were calling him "worm", "mercenary" and others. He is now constantly under surveillance of the State Security organs in order to limit his movements.
