Sjargei Tsihhanovski

Sjargei Tsihhanovski is a prominent Belarusian political activist and the husband of Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, a key leader of the Belarusian opposition. He has been imprisoned since 2020 for his involvement in the pro-democracy movement, which arose in response to the controversial presidential election that year. Tsihhanovski's detention has become a symbol of the Belarusian regime's crackdown on dissent, and his release was part of a broader effort to secure the freedom of political prisoners in Belarus.
