Belarus on Monday opened the trial of a journalist and prominent member of the country's sizable Polish minority, the latest in a series of court cases against critics of the authoritarian regime of President Alexander Lukashenko.

Mueller told a news conference in Warsaw that Poland will continue diplomatic efforts to change the situation.

Poland’s Foreign Ministry said it met the information about Poczobut’s trial with “disappointment” and said the charges are “untrue and politically motivated.” In the eastern Polish city of Bialystok, some 50 kilometers from the border with Belarus, a group of protesters representing Belarusian diaspora and human rights organizations gathered before the Belarusian consulate to demand freedom for Poczobut and other political prisoners.The 2020 protests in Belarus were the largest and most sustained in the country.
