I welcome the release of Belarusian priests Fr. Henrykh Akalatovich & Fr. Andrzej Yukhnevich. My deepest gratitude to Pope Leo XIV & the Holy See for their principled support. Many other believers remain behind bars. Repression must end—no one should be punished for their faith.

At the II Congress on Political Prisoners in Belarus, @ch_vision_by shared that since 2020, 91 priests – Protestant, Greek Catholic, Roman Catholic, and Orthodox – have faced persecution in our country. This shows once again that Lukashenka’s regime spares no one in repression.

Catholic priests in Belarus are being jailed & used as hostages. But they're not the only ones. The regime targets journalists, activists, workers & students, anyone it can exploit for political bargaining. This terror must end. All hostages must be freed.

Human rights campaigners have accused the Belarus government of using imprisoned Catholic priests as "hostages," as a Polish Carmelite became the latest detained for alleged espionage.

The detention of a Polish monk on fabricated “spying” charges is yet another act of cruelty by Lukashenka’s regime—blatant revenge against 🇵🇱 for supporting Belarusians. We stand with the detainee and with the Polish people. Lukashenka must be held accountable for his crimes.
