Two Latvian Citizens Released

Riga calls for continued pressure on Lukashenko's regime.

Among the 14 political prisoners released from detention centers in Belarus on June 21 are two Latvian citizens, following a report from the Latvian Foreign Ministry.

"Thanks to the leadership of the United States - President President Donald Trump and U.S. Presidential Special Envoy Keith Kellogg - 14 <�...> citizens imprisoned in Belarus were released today, including two Latvian citizens - Jurijs Ganins and Dmitrijs Mihailovs. We are pleased that Sergei Tihanovski was also among those released," the statement said.

"The [Alexander] Lukashenko regime still holds more than 1,000 political prisoners and continues to use migrants as a tool of pressure at the borders with Latvia, Lithuania and Poland. To change this situation, international pressure on Belarus must continue," the Latvian Foreign Ministry emphasized.
