Cuban dissident José Daniel Ferrer, released from prison, says repression forces him to lead opposition from Miami.
Cuban dissident José Daniel Ferrer, released from prison and now in Miami, says he must lead opposition efforts from abroad due to intensified government repression following the 2021 protests.
He claims authorities pressured him to seek U.S. or Church intervention for his release—requests he refused—and that threats against his family made leaving necessary.
Ferrer, a former symbol of resistance, argues organizing outside Cuba is now essential to support activists and build a stronger political force.
The U.S. State Department confirmed a formal request for his release but said no negotiations occurred.
Cuba denies holding political prisoners or using torture.
Human rights groups have criticized Cuba’s crackdown, including internet shutdowns and detentions.
Ferrer hopes to return one day but sees exile as the only viable path forward.
