Sergey Efimov
Sergey Efimov became notable as one of the first political prisoners in Belarus following the 2020 protests against election fraud. He was arrested on August 9, 2020, and convicted of violence against police, receiving a three-year sentence despite the lack of evidence and medical reports from the alleged victims. Human rights advocates recognized him as a political prisoner, highlighting that his imprisonment stemmed solely from his participation in peaceful demonstrations. His sentence was extended multiple times, culminating in a total of five years behind bars before his recent release.
