Svjatlana Tsichanouskaja
Svjatlana Tsichanouskaja is a Belarusian opposition leader and former presidential candidate who emerged as a prominent figure during the 2020 protests against Aleksandr Lukasjenko's regime. After her husband's arrest, she stepped into the political arena, leading a campaign that galvanized support for democracy and human rights in Belarus. Following the election, which was marred by allegations of fraud, Tsichanouskaja fled to Lithuania for her safety and has since become a symbol of the Belarusian pro-democracy movement, advocating for international support and calling for free elections in her home country.
