Sergueï Tsikhanovski
Sergueï Tsikhanovski is a Belarusian opposition figure and former blogger known for his activism against President Alexander Lukashenko's regime. He was arrested in May 2020 while preparing to run for president, amid widespread protests against the government following the disputed election that saw Lukashenko claim victory. Tsikhanovski was sentenced to eighteen years in prison on charges related to organizing riots and inciting hatred, but he was recently released from prison alongside thirteen other political prisoners, marking a significant moment for opposition supporters in Belarus.
