Aliksandr Lukašenka

Aliksandr Lukašenka has been the President of Belarus since 1994, often referred to as 'Europe's last dictator' due to his authoritarian leadership style and suppression of dissent. His government has faced numerous allegations of human rights violations, particularly following the controversial 2020 presidential election that was widely condemned as fraudulent. Lukašenka's regime has been characterized by its tight control over the media and political opposition, leading to widespread protests and international sanctions against his government.
