Sjarhei Tsikhanouski

Sjarhei Tsikhanouski is a Belarusian political activist and blogger who became a prominent figure in the opposition movement against the regime of President Alexander Lukashenko. He was imprisoned for several years on politically motivated charges, which drew international attention to the human rights abuses in Belarus.
