The politician commented on yesterday's release of political prisoners in his Telegram channel, when 25 people were set free.
"Like many Belarusians, yesterday I rejoiced at the release of another group of political prisoners and was saddened that instead of the large number promised by a representative of the US administration, only 25 people were released.
Frankly, an expected outcome. Because a key trade rule was violated, which should be known not only by 'deal' specialists, but by any ordinary buyer.
If you buy a certain product and start publicly expressing your interest in acquiring a large quantity of it in advance, the seller will automatically raise the price of that product.
I understand that Mr. Cole said what thousands of Belarusians were eagerly waiting to hear from him, but when dealing with a born (literally) trader, one should predict his reaction to one's words.
But, nevertheless, thank you!
Congratulations to those released and their loved ones! And to those who are still imprisoned for their beliefs, I wish patience and freedom! Hold on, brothers and sisters!", wrote Mikalai Statkevich.
Yesterday, 25 people were released. This is despite the fact that before this, the idea was expressed that one hundred or two hundred people could be released.
Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya's advisor Franak Viachorka said the following yesterday: "Not the number that was announced, but, I think, it's not the end yet. John Cole himself explained that there are certain conditions from Minsk for releasing people. And in the coming days, weeks, more will become clear. Perhaps it is related to Lukashenka's conditions for unblocking financial resources, assets. It may be related to some sanctioned enterprises. It is clear that Lukashenka always wants to have the last word – to change lists, not to give what he promised."
