My colleagues & I wrote @SecBlinken urging the imposition of the Magnitsky Act & I’m pleased that Putin’s lackeys will now be sanctioned. Mr. Kara-Murza, Alexi Navalny & other brave Russians in Putin’s gulags for wanting democracy or an end to the war in Ukraine must be released. — PolitiTweet.org

For promoting freedom despite Belarusian dictator Lukashenko selling out to Putin, Nobel Peace Prize winner and human rights activist Ales Bialiatski is now facing 10 years in jail. This farce trial and conviction proves only that Belarus lacks a fair and independent judiciary. — PolitiTweet.org

Despite Belarusian dictator Lukashenko selling out to Putin, courageous voices such as Ales Bialiatski, whom I hosted in D.C. in 2015, continue to press for freedom. He and the other political prisoners in Lukashenko’s gulag should be released immediately. https://t.co/MqIQ5kUkgl — PolitiTweet.org
