Cuba releases another political prisoner amid talks with the CIA: ‘This brings relief and hope’
The Cuban regime on Thursday released a political prisoner, a member of the Ladies in White opposition movement. Sissi Abascal Zamora traveled to Miami after being freed and forced into exile, as confirmed by the U.S. State Department. Her release coincided with CIA Director John Ratcliffe’s trip to Havana for an unprecedented and surprise meeting with Raúl Rodríguez Castro, “Raulito,” Raúl Castro’s grandson and confidant, as well as with Cuban Interior Minister Lázaro Álvarez Casas and the head of Cuban intelligence. “I still can’t believe it,” a nervous Abascal Zamora said upon landing in the United States.
