Cuba prisoner release after terror delisting marks last-gasp reset in US ties before Trump return
- Cuba began releasing prisoners on January 15 as part of a deal with the Biden administration to remove Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism, with three prisoners freed by morning according to family members and a monitoring group.
- The releases include individuals detained during the July 2021 protests, which were the largest demonstrations in Cuba since the 1990s, over power outages and food shortages.
- Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel announced the decision in a letter to Pope Francis, while the Foreign Ministry stated releases would be based on a careful analysis of each case.
- Marco Rubio, Secretary of State-designate, indicated the policy shift would be short-lived and expressed intentions to reverse Biden's decision to delist Cuba from the terrorism blacklist.
