Svetlana Tikhanovskaya
In this year's presidential election in Belarus, Svetlana Tikhanovskaya gained considerable support. However, according to the first official results of the Central Election Commission, she received only 9.9% of the vote. Belarusians do not believe the vote was genuine and consider the results rigged.
Svetlana Tikhanovskaya worked as an English translator, in particular for organizations that helped victims of the Chornobyl disaster with money from Western donors.
Svetlana Tikhanovskaya ended up in politics not because of her own political ambitions, but to support her husband.
The Central Election Commission of Belarus refused to register Siarhei Tsikhanouski's initiative group, arguing that the application had not been signed by him personally. He simply could not physically do so, as he was serving an administrative arrest.
