The young people involved in the project El 4tico were detained on Friday in Holguín during an operation conducted between six and seven in the morning.

The arrested individuals, Ernesto Ricardo Medina and Kamil Zayas Pérez,  were transferred to the Criminal Instruction headquarters of the province, known as “Everyone Sings.”

It is a center with "repeated reports" of torture, violent interrogations, and degrading treatment, which he referred to as "the Villa Marista of Holguín."

During the operation, agents took computers, phones, cameras, and equipment that the young people used to "record and document their work."
