Today Lukashenka at a meeting with John Cowell stated that it's allegedly a fake that Belarus imprisons twice as many political prisoners as it releases.
«Our fugitives are promoting this topic in the West, and I feel, according to my information, they have convinced you that we are releasing someone here, but, continuing repressions, we are detaining twice as many people in their place. I want to publicly tell you that this is an absolute lie,» — Lukashenka stated.
