30 more political prisoners pardoned in Belarus
On September 4 it became known that according to the new decree № 343 "On pardoning convicts" 30 more political prisoners, sentenced for protest articles, will be released. It is reported that among them there are 7 women and 23 men. Most of them are parents of minors and small children. For the safety of the prisoners, we are still maintaining the information silence, so we are not yet publishing the names of those released.
It is known that the cases of pardoned political prisoners were considered by the commission of the Prosecutor General Andrei Shved, who heads the so-called "Return Commission".
The information is being updated.
This is the third wave of amnesty for political prisoners since July 3.
