Havana —

Prominent Cuban dissident and performance artist Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara arrived in Miami on Saturday following his release from Cuban detention, according to his supporters and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

A Facebook page created by his family and friends showed a photo of Otero Alcántara with a slight smile, his Cuban passport in hand, aboard a flight from Havana to Miami.

“Now Luis Manuel is free,” his supporters wrote, announcing his release.

Rubio said in a statement that Otero Alcántara “arrived in the United States after years of unjust imprisonment by the illegitimate Cuban regime.”
