Rubio urges Cuba to release 700 political prisoners
Senator Marco Rubio has urged Cuba to release 700 political prisoners, citing human rights concerns. His call for action seeks to rally international support against the Cuban government's oppressive measures.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Saturday urged Cuba to immediately release more than 700 political prisoners, as a prominent Cuban dissident artist arrived in Miami after five years in prison.
Rubio confirmed in a statement the arrival in the United States of artist Luis Manuel Otero Alcantara, and added: “We call for the immediate release of the more than 700 unjustly detained political prisoners held by the regime.”
“The international community must stop turning a blind eye to the human rights abuses of the Cuban regime and join us in demanding an end to their repression,” he said.
