Cuban artist and dissident exiled from country after 5 years in prison arrives in US

Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara, a Cuban dissident artist and musician, arrived in Miami after being released from a five-year prison sentence in Cuba. He was arrested in 2021 during a protest and sentenced for public disorder charges. Upon arrival, he was greeted with a Cuban flag bearing 'Patria y Vida,' a song he co-won a Grammy for, which became an anthem for Cuba's political opposition.
