Havana —
Cuba’s government will free 2,010 prisoners in the largest such release in years, it announced Thursday, as the island buckles under increasing pressure from the Trump administration.
The government decided to grant its pardon based on the inmates’ good conduct, their health status, and the nature of their “acts committed,” according to the notice in Granma, the ruling Communist Party’s official newspaper.
It added that the prisoners included young people, women, people above 60 years old, and foreigners. The list does not include prisoners who committed crimes such as murder, homicide, sexual assault or “crimes against authority.”
