Cuba Pardons Over 2,000 Inmates
Cuba said it will pardon 2,010 inmates. This is the second prisoner release in less than a month.
The pardons appear connected to pressure from the United States. The United States has blocked oil from reaching Cuba.
Klear Note — Cuba faces a US trade embargo blocking oil and goods. The embargo has limited Cuba's economy for decades. Prisoner releases may signal Cuba responding to US pressure.
Key Terms 2
