Svetlana Mozheiko

Svetlana Mozheiko was a judge in Belarus who served for over 25 years, primarily handling political cases. Recently, she was dismissed from her position at the Soviet District Court of Gomel due to systematic disciplinary violations, as noted in a decree by Alexander Lukashenko. Throughout her career, Mozheiko was involved in controversial rulings, including sentencing individuals for political dissent. Her tenure included time in the Brahin and Vetka district courts before her transfer to the Soviet District Court, where she faced multiple administrative penalties related to the dissemination of 'extremist materials'. Mozheiko was 59 years old at the time of her dismissal, just six years short of the mandatory retirement age for judges.
