Marlon was detained, threathened and insulted in a public protest



Marlon was leading a public protest against low wages, politicization of education in Cuba, bad medical care, exorbitantly high prices of food etc. A few minutes after the beginning of the protest, all participants were detained by the political police accompanied by the law and order police. About 10 soldiers arrived in a small bus and, as if they were hunting bandits, they pushed them, twisting their arms and then handcuffing them. After that, he and other protesters were driven to the police station by bus. Inside the bus, they were offended and threatened that at the police station they would find out what was good (just an ironic commentary that demonstrate the opposite). Furthermore, the victim was insulted by worlds like worm, mercenary, bum, slag etc. At the police station, he was dragged to the dungeon, pushed, and grabbed strongly, even they tore the superior part of his pullover. There he and the others stayed for several hours until they were called one by one for the interrogation and then they were released. Marlon was threatened with the law of pre-crime social danger.
