Svitlana Tsikhanouskaya is a current opposition leader of Belarus. She became a main political figure behind Belarusian opposition after his husband Sergei Tsikhanouski, a candidate against Lukashenka for the 2020 election, was arrested. Svitlana ran as a candidate for the President’s elections in place of his husband. Since the election, she has been in exile in Lithuania, leading a Coordination Council of Belarus, as allegations of mass rigging were called after the results of the 2020 election.
