Political prisoners in Belarus

As of June 24
507 persons in Belarus are considered as political prisoners

Bloggers, businessmen, presidential campaign members and peaceful protesters are held in prisons only because they were not afraid to exercise their rights - the right to participate in peaceful assemblies, to express their opinion and to be involved in political activities.

Most of these people were targeted by politically motivated criminal prosecution in connection with the events that took place during and after the presidential election of August 2020.

Who can qualify as a political prisoner, according to Belarusian human rights defenders?
