Until May 2020, Inna Kavalionak was a theater producer working at the OK16 cultural hub in Minsk, Belarus. Then she began volunteering for the election campaign of opposition candidate and philanthropist Viktor Babariko. She was soon arrested for her pro-democracy activism surrounding the contested 2020 elections. Since December 2020, Inna has been heading up Politzek.me, an activist-run platform that channels online and offline support for political prisoners in Belarus.
