獨家:美國特使盼白俄羅斯下月再釋放數百名囚犯
路透維爾紐斯9月16日電——美國總統川普派駐白俄羅斯的特使約翰・科爾(John Coale)週三告訴路透社,他預計約一個月後再次訪問白俄羅斯,盼能促成數百名更多囚犯獲釋。VILNIUS, Sept 16 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump's envoy to Belarus, John Coale, told Reuters on Wednesday he expects to visit the country again around one month from now, hoping to secure the release of hundreds more prisoners.
白俄羅斯週三同意釋放25名囚犯,以換取美國進一步放寬制裁;華府正敦促白俄羅斯總統亞歷山大・盧卡申科釋放人權倡議人士、政治活動人士及其他人。Belarus on Wednesday agreed to free 25 prisoners in return for a further easing of U.S. sanctions as Washington urges Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko to free human rights campaigners, political activists and others.
談到下次規劃前往明斯克,科爾說:「我希望有數百人(獲釋)。我不知道。這是我的期盼。」"I hope hundreds (are released). I don't know. That's my hope," Coale said of his next planned trip to Minsk.
「我有信心,我們會讓更多人出來。」"I'm confident that we'll get a lot more out."
