Eduard Palčys (Belarusian: Эдуард Пальчыс, b. 1990) is a Belarusian activist and political prisoner. Palčys was born in Lida. At school he became a recipient of a grant for gifted children and subsequently read history at the Belarusian State University. Following Russia's invasion of the Crimea, Palčys created the website site 1863x.com which was "conceived as a response to those Russian propagandists who began to attack Belarus in 2014." On account of his publications, Palčys was detained in Russia and extradited to Belarus. He was recognised as a political prisoner from January to November 2016. In August 2016, a court in Minsk found 9 materials from the website to be “extremist” - which human right organisations declared “a permissible form of expression [which] may not be prosecuted under the criminal law”.
