Cuba announced the release of 2,010 prisoners on April 3, 2026, framing it as a Holy Week humanitarian gesture even as the Trump administration's oil blockade has plunged the island into its worst energy crisis in decades. Human rights groups say the release largely excludes the more than 1,200 political prisoners still held on the island, many arrested after the July 2021 protests, raising questions about whether Cuba is offering symbolic concessions while retaining its most valuable political leverage.
