En ouverture de la séance plénière, la Présidente Metsola a salué la libération de prisonniers politiques au Bélarus, qu’elle a qualifiée de signal positif, tout en soulignant que le Parlement continuera à se mobiliser jusqu’à la libération de l’ensemble des prisonniers politiques.
This Parliament welcomes the release, over the weekend, of political prisoners in Belarus, including Sakharov Prize laureates Maria Kolesnikova and Ales Bialiatski. This is very good news. But our work is not done. We will keep pushing until every political prisoner is free - including journalist Andrzej Poczobut, whom we will honour with the Sakharov Prize tomorrow together with Mzia Amaglobeli from Georgia. To those still behind bars: you are not alone. Belarus will be free.
