Around that time, the Polish interior ministry announced that the Belarusian opposition had been unable to contact the prominent activist for days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Media reported that she might have traveled from Poland to the United Kingdom, citing a flight booking in her name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her daughters are in Belarus with their father, ex-husband Andrej Mielnika\u016d, <em>zerkalo.io<\/em> reported in April.
