Siarhei Tsikhanouski
Siarhei Tsikhanouski is a Belarusian opposition leader and activist who gained prominence as a presidential candidate in the 2020 elections. He was arrested prior to the elections, leading to widespread protests against the regime of Alexander Lukashenko. Tsikhanouski's detention galvanized public support for his wife, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, who stepped in as a candidate and became a symbol of the pro-democracy movement in Belarus. His arrest is seen as part of a broader crackdown on dissent in the country.
