古巴政府释放了2010名囚犯,当前这个岛国正面临来自美国制裁的日益加重的经济压力,以及不断恶化的燃料短缺问题。
古巴驻华盛顿大使馆称,古巴当局依据本国宪法条款对2010名囚犯予以赦免,赦免理由包括囚犯表现良好、已服刑时长以及健康状况。
“这一人道主义且体现主权的举措,是基于对囚犯所犯罪行性质、他们在狱中表现良好,以及已服完相当一部分刑期等情况的审慎分析,”大使馆在其发布于X平台的声明中表示。

官员们表示,获释人员包括年轻人、女性、老年人,以及外国公民和在海外生活但在古巴境内入狱的古巴公民。
古巴政府表示,赦免名单排除了犯下严重罪行的囚犯,其中包括谋杀、性侵犯、暴力抢劫、毒品犯罪以及引诱未成年人犯罪者,还有累犯。
古巴全国电网瘫痪,全岛陷入停电
此次赦免是古巴今年第二次释放囚犯,此时正值圣周,古巴官员称这是此类行动的惯例时期。
此次释放行动正值古巴应对日益加剧的经济和能源危机,这场危机部分源于特朗普政府为切断古巴获取外国石油渠道而发起的新一轮施压行动。这些制裁导致全国范围内燃料短缺、大面积停电以及国内不满情绪升温。

美国总统唐纳德·特朗普曾威胁对任何向古巴运送石油的国家征收关税,并施压墨西哥等国停止供油,作为挤压古巴能源供应的整体计划的一部分。
在经历数月严重燃料短缺后,美国本周早些时候也批准了一艘油轮向古巴运送燃油,白宫将此举称为人道主义特例,而非政策转变。

特朗普还加剧了相关言论,近期在讨论美国海外行动时称“古巴是下一个目标”,但随后又试图淡化这一说法。
日益加剧的危机也在全岛引发了抗议和冲突。
自1959年菲德尔·卡斯特罗领导的革命以来,古巴一直处于共产党执政之下,现任领导人是2018年接替劳尔·卡斯特罗的米格尔·迪亚斯-卡内尔总统。

Those released include young people, women, older adults and foreign nationals, the Cuban Embassy said

Cuba’s government released more than 2,000 prisoners as the island faces mounting economic pressure linked to U.S. sanctions and worsening fuel shortages.
The Cuban Embassy in Washington said authorities granted pardons to 2,010 inmates under provisions of the country’s constitution, citing factors such as good behavior, time already served and health conditions.
“This humanitarian and sovereign gesture was based on a careful analysis of the nature of the offenses committed by the inmates, their good conduct while in prison, and the fact that they had served a significant portion of their sentences,” the embassy said in a statement posted on X.

Officials said those released include young people, women, older adults, as well as foreign nationals and Cuban citizens who live abroad but were imprisoned on the island.
The government said it excluded prisoners convicted of serious crimes, including murder, sexual assault, violent robbery, drug offenses and corruption of minors, as well as repeat offenders.

The move marks the second prisoner release this year and comes during Holy Week, which Cuban officials described as a customary period for such actions.
The release comes as Cuba grapples with a deepening economic and energy crisis driven in part by a renewed pressure campaign from the Trump administration aimed at cutting off the island’s access to foreign oil. The restrictions have contributed to widespread fuel shortages, blackouts and growing unrest across the country.

President Donald Trump has threatened tariffs on any country that sends oil to Cuba and has pressured nations such as Mexico to halt shipments as part of a broader effort to squeeze the island’s energy supply.
The U.S. also allowed a tanker to deliver fuel to Cuba earlier this week after months of severe shortages, with the White House framing the move as a humanitarian exception rather than a shift in policy.

Trump has also escalated his rhetoric, recently saying “Cuba’s next” while discussing U.S. actions abroad, though he later sought to downplay the remark.
The deepening crisis has also sparked protests and clashes across the island.
Cuba has been under communist rule since Fidel Castro’s 1959 revolution, and is now led by President Miguel Díaz-Canel, who succeeded Raúl Castro in 2018.
