Igor Kornej

Igor Kornej is a journalist and one of the 14 political prisoners recently released by Belarusian dictator Aleksandr Lukashenko. His imprisonment was part of a broader crackdown on dissent following the disputed 2020 presidential election in Belarus, which sparked significant protests against the regime. Kornej's release has been seen as a rare diplomatic breakthrough in a region where political repression has been rampant, highlighting the ongoing struggles for democracy and human rights in Belarus.
