The husband of Belarusian opposition leader Svetlana Tikhanovskaya has been unexpectedly released from prison in Belarus, along with other political prisoners.
Sergei Tikhanovsky has been moved to Lithuania and has been being reunited with his wife who lives in exile in the capital Vilnius.
It is understood at least 10 prisoners have been released in total, including the former RFE journalist Ihar Karnei.
The sudden release came as US special envoy Keith Kellogg visited Minsk on Saturday and held a meeting with Belarusian president Alexander Lukashenko.
Footage on social media shared by Tikhanovskaya's representatives show the couple smiling and hugging and Tikhanovsky appears to have lost a lot of weight in custody.
