Trump's envoy denies slowdown in Belarusian political prisoner releases
Donald Trump's special envoy to Belarus, John Coale, has denied reports that the release of Belarusian political prisoners has slowed, refuting claims reportedly made by opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya.
John Coale, Donald Trump's special envoy to Belarus, has refuted claims regarding a deceleration in the release of Belarusian political prisoners. Coale directly responded "No" to a query from Radio Svaboda's Belarusian service on X, which asked if the process had been halted. This denial follows reports attributing to Belarusian opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya suggestions of a slowdown in efforts to free political detainees. The envoy did not provide further details on the timeline for future releases or his next visit to the region, leaving questions about the ongoing diplomatic efforts unanswered.
