It added that in the past three years, another 10,000 people sentenced to imprisonment were released.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement was made just hours before Cuban President Miguel D\u00edaz-Canel is scheduled to speak early Friday in another rare meeting with the press &#8220;to address national and international issues.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Trump administration has\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/oil-cuba-tariffs-trump-mexico-30f1d74a766fee23001684a5bb8079d9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">sought to block oil shipments<\/a> to Cuba in recent months in a bid to pressure the island nation&#8217;s government.

Ferrer left Cuba last October and is now in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>He was one of several prisoners released in early 2025 as part of talks with the Vatican. The releases began a day after then-President Joe Biden&#8217;s administration announced his intent to lift the U.S. designation of Cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism.<\/p>\n<p>The Vatican was also
