July 25, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> Darja \u0141osik, Tamara Astreika, \u015aviat\u0142ana \u0141upa\u010d, Kaciaryna Madziankova and Palina Pa\u0142avinka were released from Homiel\u2019s prison on July 3 under an amnesty program, the Homiel branch of the Viasna Human Rights Center reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of them reportedly could have been pardoned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In January 2023, authorities sentenced \u0141osik to two years in prison for an interview with Belsat TV<\/em> channel deemed extremist in Belarus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her husband, RFE\/RL<\/em> contributor and blogger Ihar \u0141osik, is serving 15 years in prison for alleged incitement to hatred and mass riots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Human rights defenders say that his persecution is politically motivated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The couple has a four-year-old daughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Astrejka and Madziankova were serving unspecified prison terms on protest-related charges, while Pa\u0142avinka was sentenced to two and a half years in December 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u015aviat\u0142ana \u0141upa\u010d, daughter of exiled journalist D\u017amitryj \u0141upa\u010d, was given 18 months in prison last year on similar charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In January, the interior ministry blacklisted her as an extremist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On July 2, \u0141uka\u0161enka announced the release of his critically ill opponents and signed the amnesty law marking the 80th anniversary of Belarus\u2019 liberation from the Nazis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rights groups said 18 political prisoners were released the next day, four women and 14 men, including Ryhor Kastusio\u016d, the cancer-stricken Belarusian Popular Front leader who was serving a 10-year prison sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The activists withheld the names of the others for safety reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four days ago, Valancin Suka\u0142a of the Supreme Court announced the release of some 2020 protesters under the amnesty program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
