Nikolai Statkevich, former opposition presidential candidate in 2010 campaign, is tossed into the air by friends as he arrives after his release from prison in Minsk, Belarus, August 22, 2015. Belarussian President Aleksander Lukashenko has pardoned six jailed opposition figures, including Nikolai Statkevich who was imprisoned after running against him for the presidency in 2010, his administration said on Saturday. Statkevich, 59, is the last to be released of about 10 politicians who were rounded up and detained after running against Lukashenko in an election in 2010 dubbed fraudulent by the West.
