Although Jakub Swiderki, a representative of the Law and Justice party, initially had doubts, he ultimately supported the decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the mayor, she personally discussed the awarding of the title with Poczobut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2014 He was touched and said that he did not deserve this. But for us, Andrzej Poczobut is a great moral authority. He is someone from whom we should learn loyalty to our values, \u2014 noted Czajczy\u0144ska-Jachim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Andrzej Poczobut is a well-known journalist and activist of the Polish minority in Belarus. For the past five years, he has been imprisoned in a high-security colony based on a case initiated by the Belarusian authorities under Alexander Lukashenko.
