Jose Ferrer, 40, and Felix Navarro, 57, the last two dissidents still jailed after a 2003 crackdown with 75 arrests...are free.
They say they will remain in Cuba.
Last July, the Catholic Church brokered the release of 52 dissidents still imprisoned from the 2003 crackdown...with President Raul Castro.
Most were released into exile in Spain, but several, including Navarro and Ferrer refused to leave Cuba and remained in jail.
Amnesty expert Gerardo Ducos said :"What we want to see now is for the Cuban authorities to not force activists into exile as a condition for their release and to ensure all human rights activists are able to carry out their legitimate work without fear of threat, harassment, further arrests or unfair trials in their own country."
