The journalist and activist José Luis Tan has been forced to leave Cuba due to pressure from state security. Tan, who is known for his critical reporting on the government, is currently in Guyana. He shared his experience of being forced into exile, stating:
"State security made it impossible for me to continue living in Cuba. I was constantly harassed and threatened because of my work as a journalist. I had no choice but to leave the country to ensure my safety and freedom to express myself."
Tan's departure from Cuba is another example of the challenges faced by independent journalists on the island. Despite the risks, journalists like Tan are committed to speaking out against government censorship and repression. Tan's decision to go into exile highlights the difficult conditions facing media professionals in Cuba and the lengths to which they must go to continue their work.
