Alexander Aleksandrovich Semenchuk
Alexander Aleksandrovich Semenchuk is involved in politically motivated repressions in the Republic of Belarus. Semenchuk is responsible for the fact that, as a judge of the Leninsky District Court of the city of Brest, for a long period of time he passed politically motivated sentences against representatives of civil society. As a result of his decisions, Belarusians who opposed the current regime in the country were sentenced to various terms of imprisonment. In particular, in 2011 he tried participants in silent protests, and in 2017, participants in non-parasite protests. In 2018, he tried residents of Brest who opposed the construction of a battery plant. Among others, Semenchuk condemned the following citizens: Brest local historian, editor of the newspaper “Church” Igor Baranovsky, Belsat journalists Ales Levchuk and Milana Kharitonova, human rights activist Roman Kislyak, bloggers Sergei Petrukhin and Alexander Kabanov, teacher Lyudmila Karchevskaya, anarchist Alexander Kozlyanko, politician Nikolai Statkevich , journalist Maxim Khlebts and pensioner Elena Gnauk. Thus, Alexander Aleksandrovich Semenchuk is responsible for human rights violations and undermining the principles of the rule of law, as well as for promoting repression against representatives of civil society and the democratic opposition. His work within the judiciary is focused on maintaining the position of the existing government, rather than on enforcing the law. Semenchuk’s actions contribute to human rights violations, strengthening the power of Alexander Lukashenko and increasing politically motivated repression in the Republic of Belarus.
