Please see this statement of #Natallia #Pinchuk, wife of just released #Belarus human rights defender #AlesBialiatski. I proudly served as their pro bono international counsel since April 2023.

Statement of Natallia Pinchuk

Wife of Ales Bialiatski, Chair of Viasna Human Rights Centre, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate (2022), and Former Political Prisoner of Belarus

“The greatest fear of any #political #prisoner is to be forgotten. Today is an extraordinary day that I feared would never come. My husband, #AlesBialiatski, is one of 123 prisoners who have been released from prison in #Belarus. Ales is not only out of prison but now also safely out of Belarus and we will be reunited shortly. I could not be more grateful for the help of President @realdonaldtrump & White House Special Envoy @johnpcoale, who made this happen. And I remain thankful for #Norway Prime Minister @jonasgahrstore and his Government for providing me a home and protecting me over these many years. Of course, our family also appreciates the efforts of countless others that supported Ales and me through this terrible journey.”

@blockchaintoken @hedera @betsabemk @BlockFound @chsadc We'll definitely take that feedback on the crowd shots. It would have been nice to have had one from the back of the room.

[Nilmini Rubin @nilminirubin]

@blockchaintoken @hedera @betsabemk @BlockFound @chsadc The crowd was Congressional staff. They fill up the back first. Somehow, the first row is the least coveted spot in these events.
