Ruslana Albertovna Senko
Ruslana Albertovna Senko is involved in politically motivated repressions in the Republic of Belarus.
Senko is responsible for the fact that, as a judge of the Brest Regional Court, he makes politically motivated sentences against representatives of civil society of the Republic of Belarus. As a result of her decisions, Belarusians who did not support the current regime in the country were sentenced to various terms of imprisonment.
In particular, on December 31, 2021, she sentenced political prisoner, blogger Yuri Chudinovych to four years in prison under maximum security conditions.
In 2022, Senko made a decision to imprison Dmitry Lagodich under general regime conditions for a period of 3 years and 6 months in the so-called “Zeltzer case.”
On November 3, 2022, Ruslana Senko sentenced businessman from Brest Sergei Matyukhevich to three years’ imprisonment in a penal colony under general regime conditions for messages on the Internet.
Thus, Ruslana Albertovna Senko is responsible for promoting repression against representatives of civil society and the democratic opposition. Her work within the judiciary is focused on maintaining the position of the existing government, rather than on enforcing the law. Senko’s actions contribute to human rights violations and increased politically motivated repression in the Republic of Belarus.

Dmitry lived in Ukraine for a long time, and in 2019 he married a Ukrainian woman there. He did not serve in the Belarusian army, but in Ukraine he joined the Ukrainian Armed Forces as a supply officer. From March to October 2021, he worked as a guard at a military warehouse in the demarcation zone between the DPR/LPR and the territory controlled by Ukraine.
In the fall of 2021, having lost his Belarusian passport, Dmitry went to the embassy in Kyiv, where he was issued a temporary document and advised to go to Belarus for a new passport. However, immediately after crossing the border, he was detained. For two days in a row, the KGB interrogated him on suspicion of "terrorism" and "weapons transportation."
No facts were found, but Dmitry was transferred from the temporary detention facility to a pretrial detention center and a case of "mercenarism" was opened (Article 133 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus). Later, the article was reclassified, and in March 2022, he was convicted of "participation in military actions on the territory of a foreign state without the authorization of Belarus." During his stay in the pretrial detention center, Dmitry's daughter was born.
According to human rights activists, he was released in the winter of 2024, having fully served his sentence.

| 26.01.2024 | Перед тюрьмой у него была проблема с ногами, возможно суставы - он ходил с подлокотным костылем. Жаловался, что состояние ухудшилось после ШИЗО, куда его помешали накануне. Когда его вели на ПКТ у него костыль забрали. Видели как он выходил, держась рукой за стену общежития. Из разговоров с ним он сказал, что его жену убили, а дочь похитили (намекая, видимо, что его жена умерла в больнице из-за низкого уровня медицины, а дочь, оставленную без попечителей, отправили в интернат). |
