Arbitrary detention and confiscation of a personal computer

On Saturday, January 27, Independent Attorney Rigoberto Gonzalez Vigoa, Director of the Legal Counsel and Civic Instruction, was arbitrarily detained by officers of the State Security. When he went to his house, he was blocked by a State Security car, by the Officer of the repressive unit, and another officer. He was put in the car and driven to the Police Station. He was taken to the basement of the Unit, where he was threatened. They showed him a search record of his house and forced him to turn over his computer. The detention using threats and cruel and inhumane treatment lasted two hours. Afterward, he was released with the warning that his fate would be to go to prison and that by order of the Directorate of the country's Legal Department and Civic Instruction had to disappear.
