Belarus frees dissident Siarhei Tsikhanouski and 13 others
The release followed a rare visit by U S official Keith Kellogg to Minsk. Tsikhanouski, husband of exiled opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, and 13 other political prisoners were freed amid Belarus President Lukashenko meeting Kellogg. Tsikhanouski arrived in Vilnius with supporters praising the development while analysts see sanctions chatter and possible thaw in ties with the United States.
