Cuba has freed 127 prisoners including opposition leader Jose Daniel Ferrer after departing US President Joe Biden agreed to remove the country from Washington’s list of terrorism sponsors

President Joe Biden has notified Congress of his intent to lift the U.S. designation of Cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism, the White House announced, as part of a deal facilitated by the Catholic Church to free political prisoners on the island.

There is zero doubt in my mind that they meet all the qualifications for being a state sponsor of terrorism,” he said.
