Serghei Tihanovski
Serghei Tihanovski is a prominent Belarusian opposition leader and influential video blogger who gained notoriety as a key challenger to President Aleksandr Lukașenko in the 2020 elections. He was imprisoned in May 2020 for alleged charges related to organizing mass riots and inciting societal hatred, receiving an 18-year sentence. His recent release, along with 13 other political prisoners, followed a request from U.S. President Donald Trump, marking a significant moment for political dissent in Belarus.
