Personnel changes have taken place in the Supreme Court of Belarus. 10 judges have been released from their posts, two of them — of their own free will. These are Kanstantsin Kharytanyuk and Uladzimir Charavach.

Kanstantsin Kharytanyuk
Kanstantsin Kharytanyuk is 43 years old, he is from Brest. He graduated from the Law Faculty of Brest State University and worked as a lawyer in his hometown. In 2008, he transitioned to the judicial system. He worked in the court of the Maskouski district of Brest, then in the Brest Regional Court. Since 2018, Kharytanyuk was transferred to the Supreme Court. Initially, he was responsible for economic cases, and for the last year and a half — for intellectual property cases. Due to this specialization, he most likely did not tarnish himself with political sentences. At least human rights defenders have no information about his participation in political trials.

Uladzimir Charavach
Uladzimir Charavach is 66 years old. Nevertheless, formally he also resigned of his own free will. Charavach was appointed to the Supreme Court in 2017, before which he was a deputy of the House of Representatives. Even earlier, he headed the court of the Kastrychnitski district of Minsk. In the Supreme Court, Charavach reviewed dozens of appeals in political sentences, leaving them unchanged.
Besides them, eight more judges left the Supreme Court. Andrei Kavalcuk and Tatsiana Pratasczyk moved to the Constitutional Court, Yury Kobets found another job, and Andrei Aliashchenka, Sviatlana Dubai, Valiantsina Kulik, Hanna Sakalouskaia, and Zhanna Skurdiuk retired.
