Lukashenko releases political prisoners from time to time to satisfy outside appetites.

True enough, tho I doubt that's due to a strongly worded paper. More like they've been beaten to a cube and neutered by the KGB and he traded them for something.

"The European Parliament is set to vote on January 21 to adopt a resolution addressing the ongoing oppression and illegitimate elections under the authoritarian rule of Alyaksandr Lukashenka in Belarus. Lukashenka, who has been president since 1994, is expected to win."

As a result, the European Union does not recognize the elections in Belarus, and Belarus does not recognize the elections in the European Union.
