Valiancinas Štermeris

Valiancinas Štermeris was a Belarusian businessman and political prisoner who died in a prison colony in Shklov, Eastern Belarus, after being sentenced to five years for 'insulting' President Alexander Lukashenko and criticizing Russia's war in Ukraine. His death is part of a troubling trend of political prisoners dying under harsh prison conditions in Belarus, where many are subjected to inhumane treatment.
