Some people help with documents, others accompany them to the bank or find answers to questions that the person is facing for the first time. I am very grateful to the \u2018Volny\u2019 team, volunteers and all the organizations that take on this responsibility. It is important that people can turn to someone for help and receive it promptly. We must continue our efforts to ensure that everyone who has been unjustly imprisoned is released,\u201d<\/i> the democratic forces leader said.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_586359\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-586359\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/reform.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/photo_2026-10-07_18-56-10.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-586359 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/reform.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/photo_2026-10-07_18-56-10.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reform.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/photo_2026-10-07_18-56-10.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/reform.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/photo_2026-10-07_18-56-10-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/reform.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/photo_2026-10-07_18-56-10-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-586359\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: t.me\/tsikhanouskaya<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_586361\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-586361\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/reform.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/photo_2026-10-07_18-56-11.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-586361 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/reform.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/photo_2026-10-07_18-56-11.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reform.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/photo_2026-10-07_18-56-11.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/reform.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/photo_2026-10-07_18-56-11-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/reform.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/photo_2026-10-07_18-56-11-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-586361\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: t.me\/tsikhanouskaya<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya met in Warsaw with released Belarusian political prisoners, members of the \u201cVolnyja\u201d team, mentors and volunteers who help people after their release.
