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

Cuban artist and dissident Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara arrived in the US after being released from a five-year prison sentence in Cuba, which required him to leave the country. He was greeted in Miami with a Cuban flag bearing the phrase 'Patria y Vida,' a song he co-won a Grammy for, and his arrival followed U.S. parole approval. Otero Alcántara, arrested in 2021 during a protest, was part of the San Isidro Movement and advocates for the release of other political prisoners like Maykel 'Osorbo' Castillo Pérez.
