However, politically-motivated reprisals continue unabated in Belarus, with the arrests taking place simultaneously with releases, the politician said.
Cichanoŭskaja’s visit to Norway also included meetings with Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide, Minister of International Development Åsmund Grøver Aukrust and Masud Gharahkhani, parliamentary speaker.
