Journalist Andrzej Poczobut freed from prison in Belarus in US-brokered swap deal
Polish-Belarusian journalist Andrzej Poczobut, the 2025 Sakharov Prize winner, has been released from a Belarusian penal colony after five years of imprisonment as part of a US-brokered multi-country prisoner swap involving Belarus, Poland, Russia, Ukraine, and other nations. Confirmed by Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, the release follows widespread international concern over Poczobut's deteriorating health due to prolonged solitary confinement and denial of medical care; the US has stated it will continue diplomatic efforts to free the estimated 800-900 remaining political prisoners in Belarus.
