Cuban opposition leader Ferrer says accepted to go into exile

Cuba's leading dissident, Jose Daniel Ferrer, imprisoned for taking part in anti-government protests, has accepted to go into exile after two decades of political persecution, his wife said Friday.

"Faced with the constant pressure from the political police to leave Cuba, I have ended up accepting exile," the 55-year-old wrote in a letter from prison read to AFP by his wife, Nelva Ismaray Ortega.
