Trump Envoy Secures Release of Belarusian Political Prisoners | JQJO

Belarusian President Lukashenko unexpectedly freed jailed opposition leader Sergei Tsikhanouski and over a dozen other political prisoners and journalists. This release, brokered by Donald Trump's special envoy Keith Kellogg, follows a Saturday meeting. Tsikhanouski's wife expressed joy but noted that 1150 political prisoners remain imprisoned. The released prisoners, including citizens from several countries, were transported to Lithuania. While celebrated, the release leaves many political prisoners still detained, highlighting ongoing human rights concerns in Belarus.
