Siarhei Tsikhanouski and 13 other prisoners were released after a meeting between President Lukashenko and US special envoy Keith Kellogg
Belarus opposition leader Siarhei Tsikhanouski and 13 other prisoners have been released from jail and are now free in Lithuania, the neighbouring country’s government said on Saturday.
The release was brokered by US special envoy Keith Kellogg, a spokesperson for Lithuania’s prime minister said.
Kellogg earlier met with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, the country’s state news agency Belta said.
Tsikhanouski’s wife Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya in a post on social media thanked US President Donald Trump, as well as Kellogg and others for their efforts to secure her husband’s release.
