Freed Belarus opposition figure speaks out after five years in prison | BBC News

Sergei Tikhanovsky was held in solitary confinement in a high‑security Belarusian prison for five years after he dared to stand up to a dictator. The former opposition blogger is now in enforced exile, freed along with 13 other political prisoners after a senior US delegation paid a rare visit to the authoritarian ruler of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko. He spoke to the BBC’s Sarah Rainsford about how the last five years have been and reuniting with his family.
