The group of 14 prisoners freed today by Belarusian authorities, one of them being Siarhei Tsikhanouski, has included three citizens of Poland whose release had been sought for by the Polish authorities. 

A representative of the Polish MFA was present during the handover of the prisoners in the US Embassy in Vilnius.

We thank US President Donald Trump’s administration for their efforts and Poland’s President Andrzej Duda for his support. We hope that the Minsk visit of the US President’s envoys, namely General Keith Kellog, John Coale, and Chris Smith, will mark the first step towards the release of other Polish prisoners, including Andrzej Poczobut.
