Nobel Peace Prize laureate Ales Bialiatski has been released from a Belarusian prison after more than four years. He was freed on Saturday as part of a deal with the U.S., which lifted some of the sanctions on Belarus. Bialiatski, a veteran human rights advocate, spoke to The Associated Press in Vilnius, Lithuania. He described “inhumane” conditions in the penal colony, including limited medical care.
