November 13, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> Maryja Kale\u015bnikava looked \u201ccheerful, beautiful\u201d and her condition was not a cause for concern, her father said after yesterday\u2019s meeting with the imprisoned politician at the Homiel-based penal colony\u2019s medical unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alaskandar Kale\u015bnika\u016d said he had told his daughter about some \u201cwindow of opportunity thanks to which our meeting took place,\u201d noting that his daughter will think about something, but would not elaborate. The meeting lasted one hour and a half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The video comment was posted by Raman Pratasievi\u010d, a former journalist turned pro-government influencer, who said in another video comment that he had petitioned the Belarusian ruler to arrange the father\u2019s visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are very glad that our father was able to meet with Masha. This is a big joy for our family. Most importantly, Masha is alive! . . . We hope that it will be possible to stay in touch with her,\u201d Ta\u0107ciana Chomi\u010d, her sister, said in a Facebook post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kale\u015bnikava, whose resolute stance against the government has earned her significant admiration from opposition groups during the 2020 protests against election fraud, was held incommunicado from February 2023 and until that meeting. It took place three weeks after Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka told BBC<\/em> he might consider a pardon request from her, if she submitted it. He also claimed that her loved ones might not be interested in seeing her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A prominent politician, Kal\u015bnikava became a symbol of resistance after being arrested during a wave of protests. When security forces attempted to kick her out of the country, she refused, tearing her passport to pieces at a Belarusian-Ukrainian border checkpoint. In September 2021, she was sentenced to 11 years in prison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
