The Cuban government has released the last journalist remaining in its prisons. Albert Santiago Du Bouchet Hernández was freed last Thursday and flew to exile in Spain.
"We are greatly relieved that the last independent Cuban journalist still in prison has been released," said a spokesman for the New York-based press freedom watchdog, the Committee to Protect Journalists.
"However, independent journalists in Cuba continue to face harassment and intimidation for their work."
Du Bouchet Hernández, the former director of the independent news agency, Havana Press, was serving a three-year sentence on charges of "disrespect" and distributing enemy propaganda.
