to leave their communist state.
On Oct. 16 the government announced that most Cubans — at least those who
can afford it — will no longer need exit visas to travel abroad as of Jan.
14.
It then said there would be exceptions.
"Professionals who are deemed essential, technicians, sports people, and
(Communist Party) staff and leaders" were told of foreign travel regulations,
said Lamberto Fraga, a high-ranking Migration and Foreign Nationals' Ministry
official.
"This group of people will be told why they cannot leave the country, and
they likely understand that they are essential, which should keep them from
going to seek a passport, unless they have authorization," Fraga added.
GlobalPost Senior Correspondent in Havan Nick Miroff said the country's
boxers, baseball players and Olympic athletes are among those who will not
have the same freedom of movement as other Cuban citizens.
"Defections at international tournaments have increased sharply in recent
years, but Cuban authorities know that the island's amateur baseball league
would be deserted if players could sign contracts with professional teams in
the US, Latin America and Asia," Havana said.
Here's an extensive list of professional MLB Cuban ball players,
some who began playing in the US as early as 1911.
