"Former presidential candidate Statkevich (pictured) stands out in particular as an example of the tireless work and commitment of many for a democratic Belarus.
"We now expect the authorities of Belarus to remove all restrictions on the enjoyment of full civil and political rights of the released.
"Today’s (22 August) releases represent important progress in the efforts towards the improvement of relations between the EU and Belarus."
