Julia Fenner, a UK-Belarus dual citizen and wife of a British diplomat, has been released from a Belarusian prison as part of a US-Belarus agreement. The release involved 52 prisoners, including political activists, but over 1,000 remain incarcerated. UK Minister Stephen Doughty hailed the release as a significant breakthrough. Belarusian leader Lukashenko described it as a humanitarian gesture, while opposition leader Svetlana Tikhanovskaya expressed concerns about the nature of the release and the fate of other political prisoners.
