Human rights body files legal petition for Cuban artist and dissident Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara

A human rights organization, Cubalex, filed a habeas corpus petition to determine the whereabouts of Cuban dissident artist Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara, who was arrested in 2021 and expected to be released but was removed from Guanajay prison last week. The Cuban government does not recognize Alcántara as a political prisoner, despite designations by groups like Amnesty International.
