MIAMI, United States. – Yailén Insua Alarcón, former journalist and former official Cuban media presenter, arrived in the United States on December 20, reported on Facebook Univisión 23 reporter Javier Díaz, who also made public photos of the arrival of Insúa Alarcón and her husband.
“Yailén Insua Alarcón, who was the director of the informative magazine ‘Buenos Días’ in Cuba, arrives in the United States,” Díaz announced. “Insúa turned herself in at the border on December 19 and was released the next day in the company of her husband, Boris Luis Llamo Salgado,” the reporter explained.
The former official media reporter left Cuba for Colombia in February of this year. After being stranded in that country, local authorities they refused to give him the safe-conduct to leave El Dorado International Airport.
The journalist had left Cuba with her final destination in Nicaragua, a country she could not enter due to allegedly presenting problems with her PCR test.
“I was not allowed to fly on the plane with my PCR, which was the same PCR with which I had left Cuba. I don’t understand how they let me out on one side and not on the other. The problem is that the Government of Nicaragua did not allow me access,” the Cuban said in a video broadcast by different media outlets.
On that occasion, the journalist also pointed out that the real reason for the refusal to enter Nicaragua was political, since she was supposedly being banned from leaving the country.
Insua Alarcón has worked since 2017 in the Cuban Television Information System. As she has declared, she was expelled by officials of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC) for her alleged actions in favor of press freedom.

She was a delegate to the XVI World Festival of Youth and Students in Venezuela and a delegate to the VII National Congress of the FEU.
