After 4.5 Years in Prison Camp, Ales Bialiatski Fights Repression in Belarus Again: 'People Hate Lukashenko and Are Against the War'
Nobel Peace Prize laureate Ales Bialiatski has resumed his activism against repression in Belarus following his release after four and a half years in a penal camp. His freedom was secured through an exchange involving the easing of US sanctions, which he notes still provide leverage despite his relief at being released. Bialiatski asserts that Belarus is more vulnerable than Russia and highlights that the population opposes President Lukashenko and the ongoing war.
