  • Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya met with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and discussed potential negotiations on the release of political prisoners

    January 20, 2023

    During the Davos Forum, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya met with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair. She spoke about the escalation of repression and conveyed to the former PM her vision of possible scenarios for negotiations on the release of political prisoners in Belarus. She noted that the political prisoners are hostages of the regime and their release is a priority for the democratic movement. 

    The Belarusian leader invited the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change to hold public or non-public consultations on the resolution of the political crisis in Belarus involving politicians and experts on Eastern Europe. 

    Ms. Tsikhanouskaya also suggested that the former PM consider personally mediating the negotiations for the release of people from prisons, and consulting democratic forces on political and economic reforms in Belarus.
