Activist prevented from traveling to Panama where he had been invited for a workshop

Emilio Alberto Gottardi Gottardi, a trade union activist from the Havana Center, was prevented from boarding his flight no. CM321 heading to Panama in the morning on 16 November. The migration officials from the Terminal 3 at the José Martí International Airport informed him that since he had submitted a complaint at the Immigration office, he would have to wait 60 days in order to get the answer and to be able to travel. Emilio Alberto had been invited to participate in a trade union workshop carried out by the University of Latin American Workers (UTAL).
