The Commission rejected a request for pardons for a group of Colombians, in jail for drug trafficking, despite a petition from the Colombian embassy.
Luis Alberto Jean, a 57-year old Haitian was also pardoned but died on Wednesday
Friar Aristide Jimenez Richardson said that there are around 100 inmates who are terminally ill in jails around the country but the commission did not have time to evaluate them all, and he recommended them for consideration in August when the Commission meets again.
