Vladimir Aleksandrovich Davydov
Judge of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Belarus. Involved in issuing politically motivated court decisions, at least 9 politically motivated decisions. Together with Grintsevich and Kovalchuk, he participated in the consideration of the appeal in the case of anarchist blogger Nikolai Dziadok, where he neglected information about cases of torture, did not pay attention to the obvious falsification of evidence in this case and left the verdict unchanged. His actions can also be characterized as failure to observe neutrality when considering appeals of other political verdicts. Judge Davydov mainly made decisions on appeals of sentences handed down to political activists and journalists. In most cases, he left the verdicts unchanged. One of such decisions was the consideration of the case of Belsat journalist Pavel Vinagradov. Thus, his actions testify to serious violations of human rights and the suppression of civil society and the democratic opposition in Belarus.
