It became known about the release of 59-year-old Yury Ulasau — Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya's trusted representative in the 2020 elections.
According to various reports, he was released either on August 7 or August 11.
Ulasau joined Siarhei Tsikhanouski's team in 2019.
He was first detained on May 7, 2020, when a rally was held in Gomel in support of Siarhei Tsikhanouski, who had been arrested the day before. Ulasau was given 15 days of arrest, and then another 30 days.
