Summary
Cuban dissident artist Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara arrived in Miami on Saturday after being released from prison in Cuba, where he served five years on charges he denied. The 38-year-old was arrested in July 2021 as he left his home to join a protest against blackouts in Havana.

Otero said he was held in a maximum-security prison and had expected to be released last week. The Cuban government has accused him of acting on behalf of Washington to destabilize the island.
