Person:notes | Judge of the Minsk Regional Court | ch_seco_sanctions | ch-seco-77833 | ||||
Person:notes | As a judge of the Minsk Regional Court, Viachaslau Tuleyka has represented the Lukashenka regime in numerous politically motivated trials and is responsible for the lengthy sentences against several media workers: lryna Leushyna (BelaPAN), Dzmitry Navazhylau (Bela PAN), Andrey Alyaksandrau (BelaPAN), lryna Zlobina (Bela PAN), Stepan Putilo (Nexta), Yan Rudik (Nexta) and Roman Pratasevich (Nexta). He also sentenced a Belarusian citizen for publishing anti-governmental comments on social media. Those sentences are part a systematic denial of, and punishment for, the exercise of freedom of expression on the part of the Belarusian authorities. Viachaslau Tuleyka is therefore responsible for serious human rights violations and for seriously undermining the rule of law, as well as for the repression of civil society and democratic opposition in Belarus. | ch_seco_sanctions | ch-seco-77833 | ||||
