Tikhon Osipov

Tikhon Osipov is a Belarusian political prisoner who was sentenced to 11 years in prison after an incident in which he drove his car into law enforcement officers dispersing a protest on August 11, 2020. His case drew significant attention, especially after former judge Dmitry Tsikal's refusal to oversee the trial, which highlighted the contentious nature of the Belarusian judicial system amid ongoing political unrest.
