The United States welcomed the release of a number of "political prisoners" in Belarus

It is noted that among those who received freedom was a journalist of the Belarusian service of Radio Liberty * Oleg Gruzdilovich.

“The release of these political prisoners is a step in the right direction, too many political prisoners remain behind bars in Belarus,” the State Department said in a statement.

Washington called for the "immediate and unconditional" release of all who, in the opinion of the United States, are political prisoners in the republic.

In March, Roskomnadzor restricted access to the Radio Liberty website.

Later, the Moscow Arbitration Court began bankruptcy proceedings against the Russian division of the publication.

* Radio Liberty/Radio Free Europe is a media outlet recognized as a foreign agent by decision of the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation dated 05.12.2017.
