http://www.euronews.net/ Cuban President Raul Castro granted an amnesty to nearly 3,000 prisoners on Saturday but an American convicted of spying is not on the list.

Castro told parliament that the amnesty was being made for humanitarian reasons ahead of an upcoming visit by the Pope.

Some of the prisoners have convictions for political crimes. Those found guilty of serious offences such as murder, espionage or drug trafficking will not be set free.
