Cuba starts freeing prisoners a day after the US said it would lift terror designation
- Cuba has begun releasing prisoners as part of an agreement with the United States, following a deal brokered by the Vatican. This agreement involves freeing 553 individuals, many detained during protests in 2021.
- The first released included Dariel Cruz García and Donaida Pérez Paseiro, who were sentenced for participating in anti-government protests. Pérez Paseiro stated that prisoners were used as 'a bargaining chip' for Cuba's removal from the US terrorism list.
- The Vice-President of Cuba's highest court warned that those released could be re-arrested if they violate parole terms, as hundreds of families await news about the remaining prisoners.
- The Biden administration's intent to lift Cuba's designation as a state sponsor of terrorism could be reversed by the incoming administration, indicating potential changes in US-Cuba relations.
