One year ago, Sergey Tikhanovski was in a six-square-meter punishment cell. Today, he is a free man speaking at the Oslo Freedom Forum.

After five years in solitary confinement under Lukashenko’s regime, Tikhanovski reflects on what prison tried to erase: truth, dignity, and the belief that political prisoners can still come home.

His message: Freedom must be incorporated into political decisions. That’s how you free political prisoners.
