These included Ksienija Łuckina, Iryna Sankoŭskaja, Vasil Bieraśnioŭ, Natalla Piatrovič, Volha Novikava, Ała Zujeva, Volha Stabroŭskaja, Kaciaryna Leŭ, Tamara Karavaj, Śviatłana Pałuektava, Jaŭhien Čumiła, Pavieł Kučynski, Rusłan Krasaŭ, Alaksandar Hałuza and Aleh Zykun.

As of September 4, human rights defenders identified at least 1,371 political prisoners but the real number is considerably higher because many cases go undocumented.
