Sergej Tihanovski
Sergej Tihanovski is a prominent figure in the Belarusian opposition, known for his role as a videoblogger and political activist. He gained international attention when he attempted to run for president in 2020, a move that led to his arrest by authorities who accused him of organizing mass protests and inciting social hatred. Tihanovski was sentenced to 18 years in prison, but he was recently pardoned and released, as confirmed by human rights organizations and his wife, Svetlana Tihanovska, who took over his candidacy during the controversial elections. His release has been viewed as a symbol of hope for political prisoners in Belarus, amidst ongoing repression under President Alexander Lukashenko's regime.
