December 15, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> The team of Belarusian opposition leader \u015aviat\u0142ana Cichano\u016dskaja is coordinating efforts with the European partners to bring recently released Belarusian dissidents to the EU countries, said \u015aviat\u0142ana \u0160acilina, who represents pro-democracy forces in Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the 123 people released on December 13 after talks between Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka and John Coale, US President Donald Trump\u2019s special envoy for Belarus, were taken to Ukraine. Many of them were reportedly deported without passports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The released individuals will complete standard Ukrainian procedures in the coming days, after which the necessary transport will be arranged for their transfer to the EU, \u0160acilina said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The politician expressed gratitude to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the Ukrainian authorities for their readiness to host Belarusian dissidents despite the ongoing war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are also sincerely grateful to our American and European partners for their titanic efforts, to Belarusian human rights defenders and to all those whom we cannot yet name publicly and, of course, we thank the United States, whose efforts made these releases possible,\u201d \u0160acilina stressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
