Dmitriy Popov

Dmitriy Popov is a notable figure in the Belarusian opposition movement, recognized for his involvement in the so-called 'Tikhonovskyi case.' He was sentenced to 16 years in prison and is currently imprisoned in Zhodino. Popov served as a social media moderator for the 'Strana dlya zhizni' channel, which was associated with the opposition leader Sergey Tikhanovskiy. His arrest in the wake of the 2020 presidential elections exemplifies the crackdown on dissent in Belarus under Alexander Lukashenko's regime.
