"Gonzalo Himiob, lawyer for NGO Foro Penal, denounced the cruel treatment suffered by several of the people arrested last Saturday in a TransChacao bus.
Tear-gas canisters have been thrown in their cells and the women in the group have been sexually harassed. One of them was even offered payment for sex. Himiob said that judge Yoani Villafañe was taken aback by the complaints and ordered protective measures for the detainees. 11 out 38 was sent to prison, three were released under precautionary measures and the remaining 25 were also released under precautionary measures, but with a guarantor. One of the girls, Yusneibi López, tried to jump off a window in the courts after the hearing, according to human rights lawyer Elenis Rodríguez Martínez."

Citizens are being jailed in military prisons, and tried, without legal representation, in military courts. Detained protesters have routinely been fed pasta (a rarity on store shelves) mixed with vomit and feces.
