“After three months of unfair imprisonment and house arrest, Mr. Shklyarov reunited with his family and arrived in the United States,” Pompeo quoted CNN as saying.

Earlier, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, during a telephone conversation with President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko, called for the immediate release of the US citizen Vitaly Shklyarov, who was detained in Minsk, and let him leave Belarus. 

On October 27, it was reported that the Belarusian authorities had granted Shklyarov's request to leave the republic.
