US President’s special envoy John Coale thanked Aliaksandr Lukashenka for pardoning 18 political prisoners. Coale wrote about this on his blog on the social network X.
“Thank you, President Lukashenka, for pardoning 18 political prisoners today. This is another notable step in the relationship between the U.S. and Belarus as President Trump has tasked me with getting all the political prisoners out,” the message said.
Lukashenka signed a decree on March 5 pardoning 18 people. Fifteen of them had been convicted under “extremism” articles.
