PRESS STATEMENT

The United States welcomes the release of several political prisoners in Belarus including Aleh Hurzdzilovich, a Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty journalist.

While the release of these political prisoners is a step in the right direction, too many political prisoners remain behind bars in Belarus. We call for the immediate and unconditional release of all political prisoners.
