Yes, a great moment for the prisoners released and for #Belarus! Also a good occasion to plan redoubled efforts for other political prisoners currently detained, in Belarus as well as other European countries, incl #HavelPrize winners Osman Kavala (2023), Murat Arslan (2017), Anar Mammadli (2014)
“I am extremely happy to learn that #HavelPrize winners Maria Kalesnikava and Ales Bialiatski have been freed from prison, together with 121 other political prisoners!” said PACE President Theodoros Rousopoulos.
“This is truly miraculous news at the end of a year filled with challenges!”

Von der Leyen's 'democracy shield'? Practice what you preach first
Governments are curbing civic space, expanding surveillance, restricting dissent, undermining media independence and scapegoating migrants in plain sight. Amid housing shortages, rising energy and living costs, corruption and political polarisation, the far-right has zoomed in to expand its popularity and outreach, writes Shada Islam.
