Oscar Sánchez Mádam

Three years ago, Cuban dissident Oscar Sánchez Mádam was imprisoned after a court found him to be a "pre-criminal social danger," because of his work as an independent journalist.

Sánchez on Sunday was released from prison. But a warning to the Castro dictatorship: Sánchez is still "a danger."

After what he described as "the worst three years of his life," Sánchez said he is ready to resume his work as a journalist and human rights activist.

"I will not abandon my country," he told Radio Martí.
