Cuba has released 2,010 prisoners in its second amnesty of the year, calling it a "humanitarian and sovereign gesture." The pardon excludes violent offenders and includes women, youth, seniors, and foreigners. The move follows Cuba's tradition of Holy Week amnesties and comes amid ongoing talks with the United States.
