The husband of Belarus’ opposition leader has been jailed for 18 years for inciting social hatred against President Alexander Lukashenko.
43 year old blogger Sergei Tikhanovsky was found guilty launching the unprecedented protest movement ahead of the August 2020 election, and was subsequently handed one of the longest sentences in country’s history.
Opposition leader and Sergei’s wife Svetlana Tikhanovskaya slammed the decision, labeling it an act of political revenge as he was made a personal enemy of President Lukashenko.
