Sergej Tichanowski
Sergej Tichanowski is a Belarusian opposition figure and blogger known for his activism against the regime of Alexander Lukashenko. He gained prominence in 2020 when he intended to run against Lukashenko in the presidential elections, using his YouTube channel 'Land zum Leben' to advocate for democratic reforms. However, he was arrested and sentenced to 18 years in prison, which sparked international outrage. After five years of imprisonment, Tichanowski was released in a recent political gesture by the Belarusian government, which coincided with discussions of political prisoner releases amid international diplomatic efforts.
