Deteriorating situation of political prisoners in Belarus, in particular the case of Aliaksandra Pulinovich

Madam President, I'm sorry. When we talk about political prisoners in Belarus, we often use numbers. Just now I was on the website of Centrum Wiiasna: 845 people are imprisoned and are treated as political prisoners. One of them, Andrzej Poczobut, was with us today. He witnessed the brutal manner in which the Lukashenka regime also persecutes journalists and activists of the Union of Poles in Bela…
