Alexander was convicted in a special proceeding in the Molodechno District Court under Article 364 of the Criminal Code (violence or threat of violence against a law enforcement officer) and sentenced to three years in a maximum-security penal colony. Judge Vadim Petrusevich heard the case from October 15 to November 16, 2024.
Alexander, an activist from Molodechno, was a political émigré. Human rights activists learned that he later, for unknown reasons, ended up in Belarus, where he was convicted again for collaborating with the organization "Dapamoga" under Parts 1 and 2 of Article 361-4 (assistance to extremist activity) of the Criminal Code and sentenced to five years and six months in a maximum-security prison colony, as well as a fine of 42,000 rubles.
As reported in a state newspaper in December 2025, "the man assisted the extremist group Dapamoga in organizing the illegal departure from the Republic of Belarus of individuals charged with criminal and administrative liability for committing crimes and offenses of an extremist nature."
