Olga Vladimirovna Babuk
Olga Vladimirovna Babuk is involved in politically motivated repressions in the Republic of Belarus. Babuk is responsible for the fact that, as a judge of the Pukhovichi District Court, he issues politically motivated sentences against representatives of civil society. In judicial practice, Olga Vladimirovna Babuk considers not only administrative cases, but also criminal ones. As a result of her decisions, Belarusians who opposed the current regime in the country were sentenced to various terms of imprisonment. In particular, on November 2, 2022, Babuk sentenced political prisoner, neurologist Alexander Telego, to four years in a general regime colony for comments on the Internet. On April 11, 2022, the judge sentenced rehabilitation consultant Ruslan Lazovikov to one and a half years of restriction of freedom for “Public insult of the President of the Republic of Belarus.” Thus, Olga Babuk’s actions contribute to human rights violations, strengthening the power of Alexander Lukashenko and increasing politically motivated repression in the Republic of Belarus.

Alexander, a neurologist, worked in Norilsk, Russia. He was detained in May 2021 upon his return to Belarus in connection with a criminal case opened for insulting law enforcement officials.
In January 2022, he was convicted under three criminal articles for comments addressed to 32 officials. As Alexander himself explained, he left them emotionally, since during the August 2020 protests he volunteered near the detention center on Okrestina. In addition to imprisonment, the court ordered him to pay moral compensation in favor of 20 employees. At the hearing, it also became known that one of the victims in the case beat Alexander during his arrest.
In November 2022, he was convicted again under the articles “insulting a government official” and “threatening violence against an official.”
On April 3, 2024, his punishment was increased and he was transferred to prison.
He was released in November 2024, having fully served his sentence as determined by the court.
