Cuba Releases 2,000 Prisoners

Families were seen reuniting outside prisons as inmates were pardoned based on good behavior and health conditions.

However, international observers suggest the release is a strategic move to ease diplomatic tensions and address domestic discontent.

The Trump administration has recently increased sanctions on Cuba, further crippling an economy already struggling with power outages and food shortages.

The release includes several political prisoners, though many others remain in custody as the US continues to demand democratic reforms.
