Sergej Tikhanovskij
Sergej Tikhanovskij, a prominent Belarusian opposition leader, was recently released from prison after being incarcerated for 18 years due to his political activities against the regime of President Aleksandr Lukashenko. His imprisonment came in the wake of the controversial 2020 presidential elections in Belarus, which sparked widespread protests and a violent crackdown on dissent. Tikhanovskij's wife, Svetlana Tikhanovskaja, assumed leadership of the opposition after his arrest and has been a vocal advocate for the release of political prisoners in Belarus. His recent release has been celebrated by his supporters, but concerns remain as many political prisoners are still detained.
