Dmitry was convicted of "participating in group actions that grossly violate public order" in a criminal case opened after a protest that took place in Brest on September 13, 2020. During the protest, people sang and danced in circles, and a water cannon was used against them.
He was convicted for the second time in June 2021 for insulting Lukashenko.
In February 2022, the court toughened the punishment, and Dmitry was transferred to a penal colony.
He was released in April 2023, having fully served his sentence as determined by the court.
