A court in Belarus has sentenced last year’s Nobel Peace Prize co-recipient Ales Bialiatski to 10 years in prison for allegedly trying to overthrow the government.
The founder of the human rights organization Viasna, Ales Bialiatski was among thousands of Belarusians who were detained amid a brutal crackdown on protests against the continued rule of strongman Alexander Lukashenko following disputed national elections in 2020.
Three years later, a Minsk court found Bialiatski guilty of smuggling money from abroad to finance the anti-government demonstrations.
