Polish journalist freed from Belarus prison
A Polish journalist detained by Belarussian police during a demonstration in Minsk against the Lukashenko regime on March 24 has been released from prison. Weronika Samolinska, who writes for the mass circulation Gazeta Wyborcza daily, was sentenced to 10 days behind bars on March 27. She was detained alongside several hundred Belarussian opposition supporters when the police cracked down on protesters in Minsk. Among them was also a former Polish ambassador to Minsk Mariusz Maszkiewicz, who is now in hospital due to problems with his heart.
Samolinska described the conditions in the prison as appalling but said that the spirit of solidarity prevailed among the detainees.
