HAVANA — Cuba has begun transferring some of the country’s 200 political prisoners to jails closer to home, the first sign the government is making good on a deal with the Roman Catholic Church to improve conditions behind bars.
The transfers came 10 days after church officials announced an agreement that would see the government move some “prisoners of conscience” to jails closer to their homes and allow long-demanded medical treatment for those who are ailing.
