Activist Anamely Ramos reported an episode of violence against musician Maykel Osorbo during a search at Guanajay prison in Artemisa.

According to Ramos’s account, several prison officers handcuffed and restrained Osorbo to force him to cut his hair. The search took place Friday, October 9, and, she said, involved more than 30 guards from a special brigade, along with prison supervisors and State Security representatives.

Ramos said she still did not have enough information to reconstruct everything that occurred. She identified the location as the area known as “la incrementada,” where Osorbo had remained since July.
