Available for over a year

Belarusian activist, Vitaly Shishov was found hanged in the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv. Police in Ukraine are investigating whether his death was suicide or murder. He had left Belarus as the security forces in his home country had cracked down on protests, following President Alexander Lukashenko's widely disputed election victory. Vitaly Shishov went to Ukraine, where he ran an organisation helping others like him, who had felt forced to leave Belarus. Mr. Shishov's partner, Bazhena Zholudzh, told Newshour's Tim Franks about their last day together. Photo shows: The late Belarusian activist Vitaly Shishov. Credit: Reuters
