An American was among three people released from prison by the government of Belarus, the Trump administration announced Wednesday.
Adam Boehler, the US special envoy for hostages, told reporters outside the White House the US citizen wished to remain anonymous.
The other two detainees were named as Andrei Kuznechyk and Alena Maushuk. US Ambassador to Lithuania Kara McDonald said all three had been transferred to the Baltic country after gaining their freedom.
Wednesday’s announcement follows the release of Pennsylvania teacher Marc Fogel by Russia following nearly four years in prison on charges of drug smuggling.
