Human rights activist and 2022 Nobel Prize winner Ales Bialiatski is currently on trail in Belarus. Bialiatski founded Viasna, Belarus' most prominent human rights organization.

Bialiatski, along with his Viasna co-workers Valentin Stefanovich and Vladimir Labkovich, were taken into custody in July 2021, amid a wave of anti-government demonstrations against Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko. The trio were originally detained on tax evasion charges, but are now facing between seven to 12 years in prison on the charges of smuggling money to finance opposition activists.
