A Supreme Court official said on Monday that Cuba has given an initial release to 553 prisoners, which has been completed in the last days of the US President of Biden that his successor Donald Trump later left.
The court vice -president Marichela Soja Ravello said on the state’s television, “This process was successfully completed, given that 378 applications were filed in January and 175 February.
In one of his final official acts, Biden on January 14 removed Cuba from a list of sponsors of state terror in exchange for the Communist Island, which agreed to free 553 prisoners in exchange for the Communist Island.
But six days later, Trump’s swearing -in was marked, which rapidly overturned the Vatican’s mediation deal after the rights groups confirmed the “political prisoners” dubbed.
In July 2021, most of the rare collective protests against the Cuba government were scored in a rift.
According to several human rights groups, the prisoner stopped after the release of Trump’s order, but then started sporadicly in the coming weeks.
Cuba officials have never released a list of prisoners, nor timetable.
For its share, the “Todos” platform that collides with many non-governmental organizations has counted 212 releases, including opposition leader Jose Daniel Ferler and dissatisfied Felix Navarro.
Dissatisfied artist Louis manual Otero Alakantara and Mekel Osorbo, who have been sentenced to five and seven years of imprisonment, have not been issued.
According to official data, around 500 protesters arrested in July 2021 have been sentenced to 25 years in jail.
Some have already been released after completing their sentences.
Human rights NGOs in Havana and the US embassy estimate that there are about 1,000 political prisoners on the island.
