Rubio Demands Release of 700 Political Prisoners in Cuba

On Saturday, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio called for the immediate release of 700 political prisoners in Cuba.

His statement came as prominent Cuban dissident artist Lui Manuel Otero Alcantara arrived in Miami after serving a five-year prison sentence. Rubio confirmed the artist's arrival in the United States and emphasized the need for the Cuban regime to stop turning a blind eye to human rights abuses.

He joined the U.S. demand for an end to the repression of political dissidents in Cuba, highlighting the unjust detention of individuals held by the regime. Rubio's remarks underscore ongoing concerns regarding human rights violations in Cuba and the treatment of political prisoners.
