En ouvrant la session plénière à Strasbourg, la Présidente Roberta Metsola s’est félicitée de la libération du lauréat du prix Sakharov Andrzej Poczobut, détenu en prison au Bélarus, et a annoncé que le Parlement l’accueillerait en juin.
This House is very pleased that the Sakharov Prize Laureate and fearless journalist Andrzej Poczobut was freed from prison in Belarus a few weeks ago and has now arrived safely in Poland. We welcome his release, and we congratulate the family, the services, and the people involved in making this happen. While we celebrate this moment, it also reminds us of the many political prisoners around the world who remain unfairly imprisoned. This Parliament will continue to speak out for them and for all those who stand up for freedom in the face of oppression. We will welcome Mr. Poczobut to this House in June, next session.
