Lukashenka promises to release Iryna Khalip to British journalists

One of the Evening Standard journalists Oliver Poul asked a question about Iryna Khalip. He said he was ready to bail for her and asked why she still could not leave Belarus.

The state leader replied that he took the decision: the journalist could take Iryna Khalip to Moscow right then, "instead of your wife".

However, the "Novaya Gazeta" journalist is still under a non-leave obligation, informs Charter97.org.
