CUBA freed three prisoners on Wednesday as part of a deal with Washington to release 53 members of the island’s counter-revolutionary opposition.
Elizardo Sanchez, who has spent decades trying to undermine Cuban socialism through his Human Rights and National Conciliation Commission, said that 19-year-old twins Diango Vargas Martin and Bianko Vargas Martin and fellow dissident Enrique Figuerola Miranda had been released.
The Cuba-based “activist” said that the three “prisoners of conscience” had been freed without conditions as part of a wider prisoner release.
President Barack Obama ended five decades of official US hostility toward Cuba on December 17.
US officials said at the time that Cuba had agreed to free the 53 detainees.
But neither Cuba nor the US have publicly identified anyone on the list.
