Human rights activist from Banes intimidated by State Security in his house



Esber Rafael Ramírez Argota, a human rights defender and a member of the organization Independent and Democratic Cuba (CID), was detained by police at his house. The detention took place based on the order of the State Security official, Major Henry Borrero Peña. The official confiscated him a camera in order to prevent him from doing journalism.
