Released from a Belarusian prison, Andrzej Poczobut is undergoing medical examinations at a Warsaw Ministry of Interior hospital.

Imielski noted that previous proposals for Poczobut to stay in Poland were rejected by him to avoid a perceived victory for Lukashenko. It was noted that a return to Belarus under current conditions would likely be a one-way trip due to Lukashenko viewing him as a personal enemy. Journalist Bartosz Bieliński, who accompanied Poczobut, described him as extremely emaciated.
