Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya: “Today, 123 political prisoners were released after being illegally deprived of their freedom for a long time. Among them are Maryia Kalesnikava, Viktar Babaryka, Ales Bialiatski, Maksim Znak, Valiantsin Stefanovich, Uladzimir Labkovich, Maryna Zolatava, Aliaksandr Fiaduta, Pavel Seviarynets, and others.
For their relatives and loved ones, this is a moment of relief after a long wait. We welcome each and every one of them to freedom. Yet at the same time, we remember that hundreds of political prisoners still remain behind bars in Belarus. And until the last one is freed, this joy cannot be complete”.
