Viktar Hanchar (1957 - 1999?) was a Belarusian politician who disappeared and was presumably murdered in 1999.
In 1995, Hanchar was elected to the Supreme Soviet of Belarus. In 1996 he was appointed chairman of the Central Commission on Elections, and was actively opposed to Lukashenka during the 1996 referendum. In 1996, he was dismissed by the president from his position. Hanchar never recognized the results of the 1996 referendum as legitimate. Hanchar disappeared in Minsk on September 16, 1999, along with his friend, the businessman Anatol Krasouski. Pieces of broken glass and blood were found on the supposed site where Hanchar and Krasouski had been seen last.
According to the former head of jail number 1 Oleg Alkaev (Aleh Alkajeŭ), Viktar Hanchar was abducted and executed on the order of people close to President Lukashenko. Investigation of the disappearance of Hanchar and Krasouski is one of the main issues of the Belarusian opposition, and is also mentioned in the documents of international organizations.
In December 2019, Deutsche Welle published a documentary film in which Yury Garavski, a former member of a special unit of the Belarusian Ministry of Interior, confirmed that it was his unit which had arrested, taken away and murdered Yury Zacharanka and that they later did the same with Viktar Hanchar and Anatol Krassouski.
