German Foreign Minister: Our Goal Is The Release Of All Political Prisoners In Belarus

Many more prisoners of conscience remain behind bars.

On December 13, 123 political prisoners were released in Belarus after Lukashenka met with U.S. Special Envoy to Belarus John Cole. All of them were taken abroad, mostly to Ukraine.

European politicians reacted to the release of Belarusian political prisoners.

"I am very pleased with the release of Maria Kolesnikova, Viktor Babariko, Ales Bialiatski, Maksim Znak and more than 100 other prisoners in Belarus. I thank the U.S. government for its efforts," German Foreign Minister Johann Wadeful wrote in X. Like Kallas, he wrote that the German government's goal "remains the release of all those still imprisoned on political grounds."

Reminder that yesterday Lukashenko released 123 political prisoners.

The released include Nobel Peace Prize laureate Ales Bialiatski, opposition politician Pavel Seviarynets, human rights activist Vladimir Lobkovich and a number of other prisoners of conscience.

The majority of those pardoned were forcibly taken to Ukraine.
