Detained along with other young people in Baranavichy (late December 2023).

And the press service of the court announced the verdict (without naming names, but the circumstances fit this group of people). The essence of the charges is briefly stated: they were on the roadway in Baranavichy, shouting slogans, displaying white-red-white flags, “deliberately obstructing the movement of traffic and the normal functioning of enterprises and organizations.” The exact date when the protests took place is not even indicated, it is simply called “August 2020.”

Thus, in 2024, 25 residents of Baranavichy have already been sentenced for the protests of August 2020. All were sentenced to a prison colony for a period of 1 to 3 years (the only exception was that a woman with a child under 3 years of age was sentenced to a suspended sentence).
