Poczobut Sign Changed To "Free" In Warsaw
A sign counting the days journalist Andrzej Poczobut is in Belarusian captivity is seen in Warsaw, Poland on 28 April, 2026. The sign now has a sticker reading "free!" after Poczobut today was released in a diplomatic effort led by the Trump administration. Poczobut, a correspondent for the influential Polish newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza and a leading figure among Belarus’ Polish minority, was serving eight years in prison in a case condemned as politically motivated.
