Nobel Laureates Demand Lukashenko Free Belarus Political Prisoners

Fifty-five Nobel prize winners, including prominent figures and Belarusian writer Svetlana Alexievich, have collectively signed an open letter to Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, urging the release of political prisoners. This action follows a report from a human rights group that 18 political prisoners were released earlier in the month. The laureates' appeal highlights international concern over human rights abuses in Belarus and calls for further action to free those still detained under political charges.
