At that police unit, two State Security agents were waiting for him, and the reason for the arrest was the lawsuit that Ferrer Tamayo filed on September 20 against the National Assembly of People's Power (ANPP).
Cubalex lawyer Julio Ferrer Tamayo was arrested on September 22 in a public place in Havana and taken to the Infanta and Manglar police station, known as the Fourth Unit.
He was stopped in the Cuban capital by patrol car 114, car chief number 03510.
Two State Security agents were waiting for him at that police station and The reason for the arrest was the lawsuit that Ferrer Tamayo filed on September 20 against the National Assembly of People's Power (ANPP), they told him.
“They informed me of two things: they suggested that I abandon those actions, which, although legally permissible, I should focus on personal matters and drop those legal actions against the authorities. At this point, I responded that this was also a personal matter because, as a citizen of this country, I have the right to take any legal action for the benefit of Cubans,” the lawyer explained.
“The second thing they told me is that the lawsuit is valid and protected by law, but that In Cuba, the authorities violated the law, and that this would continue to be the case as long as the Revolution existed.“, added Ferrer Tamayo.
The lawyer was released approximately half an hour later, Cubalex confirmed.
The lawsuit filed last Wednesday by Cubalex's lawyer against the National Assembly of People's Power (ANPP) in the person of its president, Juan Esteban Lazo Hernández, requests that a bill be introduced to allow demonstrations and meetings for lawful and peaceful purposes and the creation by the Cuban State of the conditions required for the full exercise of that constitutional right by citizens.
