The police had on Tuesday come to the doors of the Church of Santa Teresita and "wildly attacked peaceful dissidents," said Elizardo Sanchez, President of the Cuban Human Rights and Reconciliation Commission (CCDHRN), on Wednesday. There were 15 government opponents arrested. Sanchez spoke of a "very serious case of political oppression, in practice without precedent."
The priest Jose Conrado described the incursion into the church as a "desecration". He reported that five dissidents were arrested. The police, with at least 15 vehicles drove away the government opponents and beat them, spraying something into his face, said Conrado.
