Havana, Nov 16 (Prensa Latina) Cuban Health Minister José Portal reported the eve that the head of the Cuban Medical Brigade in Bolivia, Yoandra Muro, returned to the headquarters of that mission after her unjustified retention in the South American nation.
The headline said on his Facebook profile that other members of the brigade also returned after being subjected 'to an unjustified retention and interrogation by the police.'

We demand the immediate cessation of harassment and actions of this nature against the integrity of our health workers in Bolivia, the official wrote on the social network.

Cuban authorities denounced this Friday the unjust detention of these doctors in Bolivia and the campaign of hatred and instigation of violence against personnel collaborating in that country under government agreements.

At a press conference, the director general for Latin America and the Caribbean of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Eugenio Martínez, condemned the arrest of Muro and the logistics member of that mission, Jacinto Alfonso.

Interpol Bolivia officials came to the house of the head of the Brigade and without any reason, or legal justification, they have arrested her at the time we are talking, Martínez said.

He denounced that, curiously, a car from the United States embassy, ??whose license plate number (28-CD-17) indicated so, was also parked nearby.

Likewise, the detention of four members of the medical mission in the city of El Alto occurred when they moved to their place of residence with the money extracted from a bank to pay basic services and rentals of the members of the Medical Brigade in that region. These have not yet been released.

Martínez demanded the immediate release of the cooperators and announced the immediate withdrawal of the members of the medical mission in that country.
