古巴政府周四晚间表示,已赦免并释放了2010名囚犯。这一广泛举措出台之际,这个岛国正承受特朗普政府施加的巨大压力,其中包括石油封锁——直到最近,该封锁还切断了燃油运输。
古巴驻美国大使馆在X平台上宣布了此次囚犯赦免释放行动,称其为“人道主义且彰显主权的姿态”。声明表示,获释人员包括年轻人、女性、60岁以上老人、旅居海外的古巴公民以及外国国民。大使馆称,犯下各类暴力罪行的囚犯不在赦免释放范围内。
目前尚不清楚此次释放中是否包含政治犯。非营利组织“囚犯维权者”统计显示,古巴共有1211名政治犯。
古巴政府表示,此次大规模赦免是今年该国第二次囚犯释放行动。上个月,有51名被拘留者获得了较小规模的释放。
此次囚犯释放行动出台之际,古巴正至少部分缓解了重创该国的能源危机。今年早些时候,特朗普政府威胁对任何向古巴出口石油的国家征收高额关税,导致燃油运输中断数月,燃油短缺问题加剧。
但本周早些时候,美国允许一艘悬挂俄罗斯国旗的受制裁油轮停靠哈瓦那港,该油轮装载了70多万桶石油。俄罗斯方面表示计划再派遣一艘油轮,为古巴提供救命援助。
白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·莱维特本周对记者表示,特朗普政府决定放行第一艘油轮“出于人道主义原因”。

特朗普总统上周末表示:“我们不介意有人运一船货过来,因为他们需要……他们得活下去。”
但莱维特表示,美国对古巴的政策并未改变,未来是否允许油轮停靠该国将根据“具体情况逐一决定”。
近几个月来,特朗普政府对古巴政府施加了巨大压力,政府官员暗示他们希望古巴的治理方式发生重大改变。特朗普总统上个月曾提出“以某种形式接管古巴”的想法。
“无论我是解放它、接管它,我认为我可以对它为所欲为,”他对记者说道。
近几个月来,特朗普政府在外交政策上采取了更强硬的立场。美国军方于1月份开展了大胆行动,抓获了古巴的盟友、委内瑞拉前总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗;近五周来,美国一直深陷与伊朗的空中对抗。
周日,特朗普表示“古巴将是下一个目标”,称其是一个“失败的国家”。
国务卿马可·卢比奥暗示,自菲德尔·卡斯特罗1959年掌权以来历经演变存续至今的古巴共产主义制度,需要更换领导层。
“我认为古巴需要两件事:经济改革和政治改革。如果不改变其政府体制,就无法挽救其经济,”卢比奥周二晚间在接受福克斯新闻主持人肖恩·汉尼提采访时表示,并称古巴领导人“无能”。
“他们麻烦大了,”卢比奥说,“这一点毋庸置疑。而且你知道,我们很快会公布更多相关消息。我们也在为此努力。”
双方都承认,特朗普政府已与古巴展开谈判,古巴前总统劳尔·卡斯特罗参与其中。
但古巴驳斥了特朗普关于其想要接管该国的部分说法。总统米格尔·迪亚斯-卡内尔·贝穆德斯上个月警告称,“任何外部侵略者都将遭遇坚不可摧的抵抗”。
Cuba says it released over 2,000 prisoners as Trump administration heaps pressure on island

The Cuban government said late Thursday it has pardoned and released 2,010 prisoners, a sweeping move that comes as the island nation grapples with intense pressure from the Trump administration, including an oil blockade that — until recently — cut off fuel shipments.
Calling it a “humanitarian and sovereign gesture,” Cuba’s Embassy in the U.S. announced the prisoner releases on X. It said those released include younger people, women, people over the age of 60, Cuban citizens who live abroad and foreign nationals. Prisoners who are guilty of various violent crimes were not eligible, according to the embassy.
It’s unclear whether any political prisoners were included in the release. The nonprofit Prisoners Defenders has counted 1,211 political prisoners in Cuba.
The Cuban government said the mass pardons are this year’s second prisoner release. Last month, a smaller group of 51 detainees were released.
The prisoner releases come as Cuba experiences at least a partial reprieve from the energy crisis that has crippled the island. Earlier this year, the Trump administration threatened to slap hefty tariffs on any countries that export oil to Cuba, causing fuel shortages as shipments ground to a halt for several months.
But earlier this week, the U.S. allowed a sanctioned Russian-flagged oil tanker to dock in Havana with more than 700,000 barrels of oil. Russia has said it plans to send a second tanker, offering a lifeline to Cuba.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters this week the Trump administration decided to let the first tanker through “for humanitarian reasons.”

President Trump said last weekend: “We don’t mind having somebody get a boatload because they need…they have to survive.”
But Leavitt has said the U.S.’s policy toward Cuba hasn’t changed, and future decisions on whether to allow tankers to access the island will be made on a “case-by-case basis.”
Mr. Trump has heaped pressure on the Cuban government in recent months, as administration officials suggest they want to see major changes to the country’s governance. The U.S. president floated the idea of “taking Cuba in some form” last month.
“Whether I free it, take it, I think I could do anything I want with it,” he told reporters.
The Trump administration has taken a more aggressive posture on foreign policy in recent months. The U.S. military launched a daring operation in January to capture former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, an ally of Cuba’s, and for nearly five weeks, the U.S. has been engulfed in an aerial war against Iran.
On Sunday, Mr. Trump said “Cuba’s going to be next,” calling it a “failing country.”
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has suggested that Cuba — whose communist system has endured, with some changes, since Fidel Castro’s 1959 rise — needs new leadership.
“I think Cuba is in need of two things: economic reforms and political reform. You cannot fix their economy if you don’t change their system of government,” Rubio told Fox News’ Sean Hannity late Tuesday, calling its leaders “incompetent.”
“They’re in a lot of trouble,” Rubio said. “There’s no doubt about it. And you know, we’ll have more news on that fairly soon. We’re working on that as well.”
The Trump administration has engaged in negotiations with Cuba, both sides have acknowledged, with Cuba’s former president, Raúl Castro, playing a role.
But Cuba has pushed back against some of Mr. Trump’s suggestions that he’d like to take control of the country. President Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez warned last month that “any external aggressor will clash with an impregnable resistance.”
