Antúnez denounces torture and death threats against his person for "obstructing US-Cuba relations." Among the State Security officers Antúnez and his wife were able to identify are Eric Francis Aquino Yera and Mario Moré Perez.

He lost consciousness twice, they threw him against the walls of the offices and injected a substance supposedly for him to recuperate. “[…] Now more than ever I stand by my slogan “I will not shut up, and I will not leave." I know that what the tyranny is preoccupied with is that I go away, or continue walking, and being told "Today you are more at risk than ever, " because if I was accused of being the instigator of the ads, well I will continue being the instigator, because information is vital in the fight, and if they demand freedom for the five, I'm within my rights to demand freedom for Ivan (Fernandez Depestre), (Armando) Sosa Fortuny, freedom for Ciro Alexis Casanova Pérez. If they think that stealing from me in my house will break me, then take me back there, apply it again, knock the air out of me again and murder me because today more than ever I scream " Boitel and Zapata Live” and all that I know how to shout,” added Antúnez, leader of the Orlando Zapata Tamayo National Civic Resistance Front Between 9 and 13 June 2014, dozens of human rights activists were arrested in various parts of the island.
