Ex-prisoner questions easing Belarus sanctions as repression persists

An ex-political prisoner from Belarus has voiced skepticism about lifting sanctions against the country, arguing that until the government stops repressing its citizens and makes fewer arrests, any relief in sanctions won't be justified. This highlights ongoing concerns about the Belarusian regime's commitment to reform despite promises to release political prisoners. The situation underscores the need for continued international pressure to ensure meaningful change and human rights improvements in Belarus.
