In an apparent revision of policy, Cuba has freed one of 13 political prisoners who refused to go into exile and will allow him to stay on the isla.
Economist Arnaldo Ramos Lauzurique,, 68, said that he was in good shape after more than seven years in prison and will resume his opposition to the government.
In 2003, he was one of 75 dissidents arrested in a crackdown on opposition and one of the last remaining in jail, serving an 18-year prison sentence.
"I am Cuban," Ramos said. "I want to stay to continue my activities as an opponent."
