This is not the first time that prominent citizens of the Republic of Cuba have escaped in recent years. So, in 1993, Alina Fernandez, the daughter of the leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, illegally left her homeland. To escape to the United States, she used a wig and a fake Spanish passport. Subsequently, she was allowed to take her daughter Alina Salgado from Cuba.

In November 1993, 32 Cuban athletes immediately asked for political asylum in the United States. The announcement was made during the Central American and Caribbean Regional Sports Games in Puerto Rico. nine0003

In 2005, the famous dancer Rolando Sarabia fled to the USA, later joining the Miami Cuban Classical Ballet Company.

In July 2007, during the Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro, handball player Rafael Dacosta Capota and boxers Guillermo Rigondeaux and Eris Landi Lare left the Cuban national team, but less than a month later the boxers voluntarily returned to Cuba.

In 2008, seven members of the Cuban Olympic football team fled and sought asylum. nine0003

In March 2011, five Cuban ballet dancers stayed in Canada.

In July 2012, 23 members of the Cuban Catholic delegation, who were in the Canadian city of Toronto on the occasion of the Catholic Youth Festival, refused to return to Cuba. In the same month, Alcibiades Hidalgo, a former high-ranking party worker, who previously held the posts of Deputy Foreign Minister, Assistant Minister of Defense, and Cuba’s representative to the UN, illegally emigrated from Cuba to the United States and asked for political asylum there. nine0003

In April 2012, two actors stayed in the US to attend the Tribeca International Film Festival in New York, where they were supposed to present a film about the escape from Liberty Island. In the same month, football player Yosmel de Armos, who took part in a match with the El Salvador national team in Nashville, Tennessee, asked for political asylum in the United States.

In April 2013, seven artists from the Cuban National Ballet stayed in Mexico after finishing their tour, and six of them subsequently left for the United States.
