bad international press
Garcia said that the prosecution acknowledged that it was "unfair to have come to prison."
The release coincides, as he explained the BBC correspondent in Cuba, Michael Voss, with the government's decision to allow a march of the Ladies in White, after the intervention of the Catholic Church.
As the leader of the Cuban Commission for Human Rights, Elizardo Sánchez, "the fact that Garcia is a militant dissident led us to suspect that the process was a trap to get her out of circulation."
Sanchez added that the release of Garcia and allow the march of the Ladies in White are a "sign" indicating that Cuban leaders are trying to avoid bad press outside their borders.
Cuban authorities, said BBC correspondent in Cuba, "deny that political prisoners, calling them mercenaries paid by the U.S. to undermine the system."
