Two top opposition leaders in Belarus were sentenced to prison on Monday after being part of efforts to push back against the Lukashenko regime.
One opposition leader, Maria Kolesnikova, was found to be guilty “of conspiracy to overthrow the government,” per The Washington Post. She was part of protests last year against the election of Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko. Those who oppose the Lukashenko regime claim that the election was fraudulent. She was sentenced to eleven years in prison.
