Belarus. A Year After Fleeing Belarus, Veranika Tsapkala Still Battling Lukashenka’s ‘Inhumane Regime’ (RFE RL)

August 28, 2021

Veranika Tsapkala has been an integral part of the largely female-led push to unseat Alyaksandr Lukashenka, the authoritarian leader of Belarus since 1994.

After her husband’s bid to run in the country’s presidential election last August was rejected on claims that he had falsified signatures needed to get on the ballot, Tsapkala teamed up with Svyatlana Tsikhanouskaya, a reluctant candidate who only joined the race after her husband’s bid was also nixed. Lukashenka had made sure to disqualify potential challengers, but apparently didn’t see Tsikhanouskaya as one — dismissing women as “poor things.”
