Belarusian political prisoner Maria Kalesnikava has reappeared in a photo with her father, 21 months after losing contact. The development is significant as it marks the first public appearance since she was imprisoned for leading anti-Lukashenko protests and later sentenced to 11 years in Homyel. Details of the meeting remain unclear. Kalesnikava's prolonged isolation and harsh conditions have raised concerns about her well-being, with reports indicating weight loss due to inadequate diet.
