## Resource

Cuban artist Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara, a leading voice in Cuba’s opposition movement and co-author of the anthem “Patria y Vida,” has arrived in Miami after being released from a five-year prison sentence — a move he accepted as exile to continue his activism. Met by a jubilant crowd waving flags bearing the protest slogan, Alcántara, who was arrested in 2021 for his role in demonstrations, now carries a broken statue of the Virgin Mary as a symbol of hope. His freedom sparks renewed calls for the release of fellow prisoner Maykel Castillo Pérez, while human rights groups and the U.S. government have long viewed his imprisonment as politically motivated.
