Prominent Cuban dissident artist Luis Manuel Otero Alcantara, whose five-year prison sentence ended last week, arrived in the United States on Saturday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said.
Rubio did not provide the 38-year-old artist's whereabouts or say when he arrived.
A video posted on Otero Alcantara's official Facebook page, which is managed by his close friends, also showed his arrival in the United States.
"After five years of unjust imprisonment, Cuban artist Luis Manuel Otero Alcantara has finally been freed," read a post on Otero Alcantara's Facebook page.
It also said he was held in a maximum-security prison and that a condition of his release was "permanent departure from the island."
