In the morning, an activist Manuel de Jesús Albial Odelin went to buy some bread for his family as every day. Meanwhile a State Security official named Mijaíl was hidden behind the tree and waiting for Manuel. When Manuel was passing, he detained him, put him into the patrol car No. 201 where two officers from the political police had been already waiting, and drove him to the detention center known as Parque 24. After having been threatened, he was suggested to cooperate with the State Security. Manuel told them that he prefers death over being a traitor. After that, he was taken to a prison cell where he was kept under inhuman conditions. Manuel was released that same day at 5 pm.
