Nobel Peace Laureate Ales Bialiatski Imprisoned in Belarus Raises Concerns.

Concerns have been raised over the safety of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Ales Bialiatski, who has not been heard from in over a month, according to a friend. Bialiatski is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence in Belarus, where he was jailed in 2021 amid mass protests against President Alexander Lukashenko’s government. His wife reported that he has been in “an information blackout” since he was moved to a “colony for repeat offenders” in Gorki. The international community, including over 100 Nobel laureates, have called for his release.
