Diplomacy is Andrei Sannikov’s life. In the 1990s, he was instrumental in disarming Belarus and decommissioning the world’s most dangerous nuclear arsenal. Under Lukashenko’s dictatorship, he resigned from the civil service in protest and took the dangerous path of opposition. After the unexplained death of his closest comrade, he ran against Lukashenko in the presidential race. But the elections were rigged, and Andrei Sannikov was arrested, tortured and put in solitary confinement. He now lives in exile in Warsaw, where he continues to fight for his dream of a free and democratic Belarus. But Sannikov has to weigh up every word he says – knowing that people in Belarus could be tortured or killed for it.
