José Daniel Ferrer, the prominent leader of Cuba's pro-democracy movement, has arrived in Miami, Florida, after he was released from a Cuban prison for exile in the United States.
The Cuban opposition leader and human rights activist was imprisoned during the Black Spring crackdown of March 2003 for his participation as a leader of the Varela Project, and was sentenced to 25 years.
Ferrer is the founder of the Patriotic Union of Cuba, which is an umbrella group that has hosted many Cuban dissident organizations.
