An activist from Camagüey harassed by police and State Security



A reporter from the audiovisual agency Palenque Vision, Geovanis Cepúlveda Martínez, was walking through the city center in order to meet with a friend. Meanwhile, Geovanis noticed that he was followed by State Security (DSE) agents. In a while, he was approached by a policeman who asked him for his ID and told him that it would be better for him to go away from there. Geovanis went to the Agramontés Park in order to connect to the wi-fi and inform about what happened to him. Suddenly, he was surrounded by a DSE official along with a policeman from the special brigade, both without identifying themselves, who told him to leave the park otherwise he would be detained. Geovanis then left the park.
