Cuban dissident Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara granted exit permit to US

Cuban authorities have authorized the departure of dissident artist Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara to the United States following the conclusion of his prison term. His status had been uncertain since his release last week, raising concerns regarding his safety and potential state-imposed restrictions. This development marks a shift in the handling of a high-profile prisoner of conscience, though the conditions of his release remain unverified.
