Jailed Belarus Nobel winner should have been freed in prisoner swap, say supporters
VILNIUS - Supporters of jailed Belarusian Nobel Peace laureate Ales Bialiatski say the human rights activist should have been included in the biggest East-West prisoner swap since the Cold War on Thursday.
Bialiatski, 61, who is serving a 10-year sentence for financing anti-government protests after a trial in 2023 condemned by the U.S. and the European Union as a "sham", was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2022 - a year after his arrest. Among those released in this week's swap was German citizen Rico Krieger who had been sentenced to death on terrorism charges in Belarus, a close ally of Russia where - according to Viasna - 1,390 people are in jail for political reasons - many linked to mass protests four years ago.
