Belarus forcibly deported political prisoners released in a U.S.-led deal, opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya said Friday.
Belarus freed 52 political prisoners Thursday as part of a deal brokered by the United States, which lifted some sanctions on the country’s national airline. The deal is the latest step toward a possible rapprochement between Washington and Minsk, a close ally of Russia that has faced Western isolation for years.
