Artur was convicted of creating and installing an installation featuring a portrait of Lukashenko and the inscription "Burn in Hell" in a vacant lot in November 2020, posting a photo of it in a Telegram chat, and discussing protest activity in the spring of 2021 in another chat, which investigators deemed inciting social hatred.

In the fall of 2024, he was released, having fully served his sentence imposed by the court.
