🇵🇱 Poland’s Internal Security Agency has released a video of the prisoner exchange with Belarus in which journalist Andrzej Poczobut was freed.

Poczobut, a political prisoner and a leader of the Polish minority in Belarus, was detained by the Lukashenko regime in March 2021.

On a fabricated case, he was convicted of “inciting enmity and calls for actions aimed at harming the interests of the state” and sentenced to 8 years in prison under a strict regime.

The 5-for-5 exchange took place on 28 April. His release had been a key issue between Minsk and Warsaw.  x.com/ABW_GOV_PL/status/2113…
