Cuban Government To Release 553 Prisoners After Vatican Talks Amid US Sanction Easing

Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel said his government would gradually release 553 prisoners Tuesday following talks with the Vatican. That is coming just days after the Biden administration said it planned to ease a raft of sanctions on Cuba.

Cuba welcomed the relaxation of restrictions as a “correct” move but expressed concerns that it might be too limited in scope and effectiveness. Cuban officials warned that future US administrations could potentially reverse these changes, making the current adjustments insufficient in the long term.

The easing of sanctions, which includes relaxing restrictions on travel and remittances, marks a significant development in US-Cuba relations. However, the Cuban government has often criticized past American policies and their impact on the island’s economy.
