Noted Belarusian Lawyer Who Defended Independent Journalists Leaves Country May 03, 2021 11:40 GMT Share share Print MINSK Belarusian lawyer Syarhey Zikratski, who has defended independent journalists during the ongoing police crackdown on dissent following a disputed presidential election last year, has left the country for Lithuania after his license to practice law was withdrawn in late March. Zikratski announced his decision to leave Belarus in a Facebook post on May 3, saying that while abroad he will do everything he can to change the situation in Belarus. In an interview with RFE/RL, Zikratski said that he is already in the Lithuanian capital, Vilnius, along with his wife and two children. He said his family has been under enormous stress since rallies started after the August 9 presidential election that returned authoritarian Alyaksandr Lukashenka, who has run the country since 1994, to power. The opposition says the vote was rigged.
