14ymedio, Havana, 7 November 2015 — The musician Gorki Águila was
arrested this afternoon in Havana, as he was traveling in a car with two
journalists from the television channel France24. The composer and
singer managed to call this newspaper from the Fifth Police Station in
the Playa municipality, where he was taken with the two reporters.

Águila, leader of the punk rock band Porno para Ricardo, does not know
why he has been arrested and when talking with 14ymedio the police still
had not informed him whether he would remain in a cell in the station,
or be fined or prosecuted. Last August the musician was detained for
several hours in the same station, where he was warned that if continue
his activism "those who invite you to visit another country will have to
come to looking for you in a boat."

In May, a similar incident occurred when Águila was forcibly detained
outside the Museum of Fine Arts in Havana for carrying a poster with the
image of the graffiti artist El Sexto along with the word "Freedom."
