The former political prisoner joined a prayer near the Red Church in Minsk.

Vitaut Siuchyk wrote it on Facebook.

“People have been gathering near the archangel Michael monument in Minsk's Independence Square to pray for political prisoners since 2011. Mikalai Statkevich, who was recently released, joined the prayer.

The politician thanked everyone who had prayed for his release for more than four years. He noted he felt support, which helped him a lot.

The people learnt after the prayer that the guys detained for national graffiti were released on their own recognizance,” Siuchyk wrote.
