“Belarus Releases Three Prisoners, Including US Citizen and Jailed Journalist”

SUMMARY: Belarusian authorities released three detainees, including a U.S. citizen, a Belarusian journalist from Radio Liberty, and an opposition activist, marking a diplomatic success for the Trump administration. The U.S. described the release as a “remarkable victory” aimed at improving ties with Minsk. The U.S. officials successfully secured their freedom after a “special operation” where they met Belarusian counterparts in Minsk. The American detainee has not been named.

The release follows the return of Marc Fogel, an American teacher freed from Russia in a prisoner swap. The Belarusian journalist, Andrey Kuznechyk, had been arrested in 2021 and sentenced to six years in a labor camp, while Yelena Movshuk, an opposition activist, was detained in 2020 and sentenced in 2021. Both Belarusian detainees were considered political prisoners. U.S. officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, emphasized their commitment to securing the release of other political prisoners in Belarus. Belarus’ move is viewed as a step toward repairing relations with the U.S., which had been strained over the treatment of opposition figures in Belarus.
