Ruslana Albertovna Senko
Ruslana Albertovna Senko is involved in politically motivated repressions in the Republic of Belarus. Senko is responsible for the fact that, as a judge of the Brest Regional Court, he makes politically motivated sentences against representatives of civil society of the Republic of Belarus.

In particular, on December 31, 2021, she sentenced political prisoner, blogger Yuri Chudinovych to four years in prison under maximum security conditions. In 2022, Senko made a decision to imprison Dmitry Lagodich under general regime conditions for a period of 3 years and 6 months in the so-called “Zeltzer case.” On November 3, 2022, Ruslana Senko sentenced businessman from Brest Sergei Matyukhevich to three years’ imprisonment in a penal colony under general regime conditions for messages on the Internet. Thus, Ruslana Albertovna Senko is responsible for promoting repression against representatives of civil society and the democratic opposition. Her work within the judiciary is focused on maintaining the position of the existing government, rather than on enforcing the law. Senko’s actions contribute to human rights violations and increased politically motivated repression in the Republic of Belarus.
