Cuba starts freeing prisoners a day after the US said it would lift terror designation
Cuba began releasing some prisoners, including those arrested during the 2021 protests, as part of talks with the Vatican. The move comes a day after President Joe Biden's administration announced its intention to lift Cuba's designation as a state sponsor of terrorism. The Cuban foreign ministry plans to gradually release 553 convicts in alignment with the Vatican's 2025 Jubilee declaration.
