Polish President meets Belarusian Nobel laureate

Polish President Karol Nawrocki met with Nobel Peace Prize laureate Ales Bialiatski, the founder of the Viasna Human Rights Centre and a former Belarusian political prisoner. The meeting underscores Poland's continued engagement with prominent figures from the Belarusian democratic opposition and human rights community.
