Cuban Mass Prisoner Pardon

April 7 – April 8, 2026

Where Things Stand

In early April 2026, Cuba released more than 2,000 prisoners as part of an Easter humanitarian gesture. Human rights groups and U.S. lawmakers report that the release excluded political prisoners and critics of the government. Critics are now demanding that the regime release a full list of those freed and immediately pardon all political prisoners.
