He arrived in Cuba legally February 13 from Miami, where he now lives. He was arrested as he traveled in a car with relatives by State Security officer Juan Antonio Pérez, and National Police officer Epifanio Alvarado.

A local human rights activist, Horacio Piña, pointed out that very frequently people in Hernández' situation visit the island and the authorities don't bother them.
