Acosta was held at a police station in Cárdenas for an hour and then returned to her home in Havana by several patrol cars.
The journalist was intercepted before arriving at the home of relatives of political prisoners with whom she was to conduct an interview. After her detention in the police unit, she was taken in a patrol car from Cárdenas to the Bacunayagua bridge, an intermediate point between Matanzas and the capital.
'At Bacunayagua, about ten minutes later, another patrol arrived. They took me in that other patrol to the checkpoint at the entrance to Guanabo, coming from Matanzas to here. And there they took me down again and put me in another patrol car to here, to my house,' Acosta said."
