Belarus' leader pardons woman arrested with her dissident journalist boyfriend in plane incident

The president of Belarus has pardoned the girlfriend of a dissident journalist arrested in 2021 after being pulled off a commercial flight that was diverted to the country. A Russian governor reported Wednesday that President Alexander Lukashenko signed a decree freeing Sofia Sapega. The governor said Sapega’s parents had asked for leniency after her conviction and sentencing last June to six years imprisonment. She had been awaiting transfer to a prison in her native Russia. Her boyfriend Raman Pratasevich was convicted last month and sentenced to eight years in prison after their dramatic arrest in May 2021 elicited outrage in the West. Some leaders said the plane’s diversion was tantamount to state-sponsored hijacking.

Were Ukrainian children forcibly transferred to Belarus? Ukraine's top prosecutor is investigating

Ukraine’s prosecutor-general says it’s investigating the forced transfer of Ukrainian children to Belarus, adding to allegations that Russia is also transferring them to its territory. A former Belarusian culture minister heads an opposition group documenting the deportations. They turn evidence over to international organizations, hoping the International Criminal Court will issue an arrest warrant for Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, as it did for Russian President Vladimir Putin. In March, the ICC issued arrest warrants for Putin and his commissioner for children’s rights. Judges accused the pair of war crimes the illegal deportation and transfer of children to Russia.

Border checks between Russia and Belarus are back for the first time in 28 years

The Belarusian foreign minister says controls on the border with Russia have been partially restored for the first time in 28 years. Sergei Aleinik said the checks at the border of Belarus with one of its closest allies were intended to prevent the entry of third-country nationals. An intergovernmental agreement on the mutual recognition of visas comes into force this year. However, human rights activists think the border checks will target Russian nationals. They believe the checks will allow the Kremlin to track Russian men who may have fled to Belarus to avoid mobilization into the Russian army.
