Cuban dissident José Daniel Ferrer García was released from prison and exiled to the U.S. on October 13, 2025, after years of imprisonment and abuse.
Cuban dissident José Daniel Ferrer García, founder of the unregistered opposition group UNPACU, was released from prison on October 13, 2025, and flown to the United States for exile following a formal U.S. government request and his consent.
Ferrer, 54, had been repeatedly imprisoned since 2003, including a brief release in January 2025 under a Vatican-mediated agreement, before being rearrested in April for violating parole.
He cited years of abuse, threats to his family, and harsh prison conditions in a letter announcing his decision to leave.
His departure, confirmed by Cuban officials and family members, marks a significant moment in Cuba’s pro-democracy movement amid ongoing repression and economic crisis.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio welcomed his arrival, calling it a victory and demanding the release of other political prisoners.
Details of the agreement enabling his exit remain undisclosed.
