After 5 years of captivity, Andrzej Poczobut was yet released from Belarusian prison. “This is the man who proved how strong Polishness is, the attachment to Polish values,” said president Karol Nawrocki.
The president invited Andrzej Pochobut to receive the Order of the White Eagle, stressing that he paid a advanced price for his attitude. Karol Nawrocki pointed out that the release of the Polish activist was the consequence of long diplomatic activities, which the American side was powerfully active in.
Andrzej Poczobut, political prisoner of the Lukashenko regime, bachelor of the Order of the White Eagle on the loose!
I thank the president of the United States Donald Trump for bringing about the release of our countryman. Thank you to everyone who worked for this success.

Pochobut's case became a symbol of the conflict for Poles' rights across the east border and opposition to the government of Alexander Lukashenka.
