Il-Parlament jilqa’ l-ħelsien tal-priġunieri politiċi fil-Belarus  

Strasburgu  
 
 

Fil-ftuħ tas-Sessjoni Plenarja, il-President Metsola qalet li l-ħelsien tal-priġunieri politiċi fil-Belarus hija aħbar tajba, u li l-Parlament se jkompli jagħmel pressjoni sakemm kull priġunier politiku jinħeles.

       

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.
