Svetlana Tikhanovskaya on the Fight Against Authoritarianism

When Svetlana Tikhanovskaya's husband's presidential campaign in Belarus was ended by his arrest and incarceration, she launched her own campaign and quickly gained enormous popularity. After the election she was briefly detained by authorities before finding refuge in neighboring Lithuania. She explains to Christiane why she is determined to fight against authoritarianism no matter what.
