In August 2020, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya was elected president of Belarus.
Tsikhanouskaya then fled to Lithuania in 2020 after President Alexander Lukashenko deployed a severe crackdown on protests against his disputed election win.
Siarhei Tsikhanouski is among several prominent imprisoned opposition figures whom relatives say have not been heard from in over a year.
“Russia wants to subjugate Belarus and Ukraine,” Tsikhanouskaya told BBC News.
Lukashenko has ruled Belarus since 1994.
Opposition figures are subjected to harsh penalties for organising protests.
