HAVANA, May 25 (Reuters) – Cuba’s government on Monday published a complete list of the names of prisoners who authorities had released following an April amnesty that came amid tense and ongoing negotiations between the island’s government and the United States.
Cuba said in April it planned to free more than 2,000 prisoners from the island’s jails, the second time this year its communist-run government had announced a prisoner amnesty.
The government had not previously released the identities of those released.
