The Cuban man who defied the regime in front of the Capitol was transferred to Villa Marista.

Ariel Limias Leyva was detained on Friday after displaying an anti-government placard on the steps of the Capitol building in Havana. Following his initial detention at the Dragones police unit, he was transferred to Villa Marista, which serves as the headquarters for State Security in the Cuban capital.

The incident marks a public act of dissent against the Cuban government. The transfer to Villa Marista indicates that authorities are handling the case through the state security apparatus rather than standard local law enforcement.
