Belarus Frees 52 Political Prisoners After Talks With US Envoy, the second release of political prisoners this summer

Good news! What is going on in Belarus? 

Is the long time dictator of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko (age 71, in office since 1994) having some second thoughts about his close affiliation with Putin the Terrible?

"Belarus has freed 52 political prisoners of different nationalities, the US Embassy in Vilnius said Thursday, in what appeared to be the largest release of detainees in years.

The embassy said those freed were on their way to Lithuania. Belarusian media reported the group included opposition politician Mikalai Statkevich, philosopher Uladzimir Matskevich, and Lithuanian citizen Alena Romanauskienė. ..."

Belarus Frees 52 Political Prisoners After Talks With US Envoy "The move follows a smaller release earlier this summer, when Lukashenko freed 14 detainees after meeting another Trump envoy, Keith Kellogg."

When Lukashenko is abroad and not in company of Putin the Terrible, he is surrounded by the finest dignitaries Iran has to offer! Caution: irony! How often does Lukashenko actually travel abroad (excl. Russia)?
