President Joe Biden informed Congress on Jan. 14 that he is taking communist Cuba off the U.S. State Department’s state-sponsored terrorism list. The directive is among other steps meant to facilitate the release of political prisoners arrested for protesting the island’s communist regime.
“We expect and anticipate that these measures announced today will bring very quick relief to the many dozens of Cubans who were arrested in conjunction with the July 2021 protests, as well as bring relief to their family members,” an administration official said.
