Svjatlana Hjeorhijewna Tsіkhаnоwskаja eller Svetlana Georgijevna Tikhanovskaja (hviderussisk: Святлана Георгіеўна Ціханоўская, russisk:Светла́на Гео́ргиевна Тихано́вская, født 11. september 1982) er en hviderussisk menneskerettighedsaktivist og politiker, der stillede op ved præsidentvalget i Hviderusland 2020, som oppositionens hovedkandidat. Hun er gift med aktivisten Siarhjej Tsikhanowski, som ligeledes stillede op til valget indtil sin arrestation den 29. maj 2020, hvorefter hun meddelte, at hun havde til hensigt at stille op i hans sted.

Aleksandr Lukasjenko har siddet på posten siden 1994 og blev officielt erklæret vinder i valget, der mistænkes for at være ramt af valgfusk.[1][2]

Baggrund

Før hun blev præsidentkandidat, var Tsіkhаnоwskаja engelsklærer[3][4] og tolk.[5] Hun er gift med youtuberen, bloggeren og aktivisten Siarhjej Tsikhanouski, som blev anholdt 29. maj 2020 i Hrodna sammen med otte andre mennesker.[6] Parret har en søn og en datter.[7]

These suspicions appeared to be confirmed by data from a limited number of polling stations that broke ranks with the government and identified opposition candidate Svyatlana Tsikhanouskaya as the clear winner.

On 6 May, two days before the presidential election was announced, police arrested well-known blogger Syarhei Tsikhanouski and enforced an earlier sentence of 15-day administrative detention which he received following his participation in a peaceful protest in December 2019. Syarhei Tsikhanouski had made no secret of his political ambitions. The detention appeared to prevent him from nominating his candidacy at the election, and its timing, nearly five months after the purported “offence”, suggested that his arrest was politically motivated. In response, his wife, Svyatlana Tsikhanouskaya, put forward her candidacy. As soon as she emerged as a presidential candidate, the authorities responded with severe reprisals. On 29 May, Syarhei Tsikhanouski, freed again and now Svyatlana Tsikhanouskaya’s electoral campaign chief, was arrested as a criminal suspect, during a signaturegathering event in Hrodna, a city in northwestern Belarus, alongside eight other men: Yauhen Raznichenka, Dzmitry Furmanau, Uladzimir Navumik, Vyarhili Ushak, Alyaksandr Aranovich, Syarhei Kalmykou, Vasil Babrouski and Artsyom Sakau. They have been charged with “organization or preparation for a grave breach of public order” (Article 342 of the Criminal Code of Belarus). At the time of writing, they all remained in detention and the criminal proceedings against them are ongoing.
