Cheslav Gerasimovich is 37 years old. He is from Minsk.

For some time in 2022, Gerasimovich worked in Vilnius, but in the fall of 2022 he returned to Minsk.

On June 26, Cheslav was convicted of “disobeying a police officer” in an administrative case.

Judging by the GUBOPiK video, Gerasimovich is accused of donating to the “extremist formation” four times. He is probably accused under Article 361-2 of the Criminal Code.

Gerasimovich writes on social networks that he has been conducting training in psychotherapy for more than 15 years. Since 2011, he began working as a tester. He is interested in music and plays the guitar, and also writes poetry and short prose.

Sentences

Trial outcome 09.12.2024
5 years of imprisonment in colony under general regime conditions, 300 basic values fine.

Once the sentence takes effect, you can only write letters to the prisoner. Under Art. 85 of the Penal Code of Belarus, convicts cannot receive money transfers from anyone other than close relatives. Parcels are also only possible from relatives. If you want to help, support the family directly if this option is available on the prisoner's page.
