Maria Kolesnikova, a prominent Belarusian opposition activist, was allowed to see her father for the first time in over 600 days while imprisoned. A recently shared photo captures the emotional moment, showcasing Kolesnikova’s enduring spirit despite her harsh treatment and an 11-year sentence on charges of extremism. Her sister, Tatsiana Kolesnikova, who has voiced concerns over Maria’s health and conditions in jail, expressed disbelief at the reunion. The Belarusian regime continues to isolate political prisoners, amid a backdrop of ongoing oppression and an upcoming election without genuine opponents.
