Person:notes | Valyantsina Ziankevich is a Belarusian judge who serves in a Judicial Collegium for Criminal Cases of the Minsk City Court. She has issued politically-motivated rulings against the opponents of the Belarusian authorities. She has convicted at least seven Belarusian citizens on political grounds, including Maryna Zolatava, TUT.BY editor-in-chief, who was sentenced to 12 years in prison, and Liudmila Chekina, TUT.BY general director, who was sentenced to 12 years in prison in Mar 2023. She has a documented history of issuing politically-motivated rulings against the opponents of the Belarusian authorities since 2022. She is therefore responsible for serious violations of human rights and the repression of civil society and democratic opposition in Belarus. | ch_seco_sanctions | ch-seco-65282 | ||||
