Dmitry, an employee of the Belarusian Metallurgical Plant in Zhlobin, was arrested in the fall of 2021 as part of a criminal case brought against plant employees who supported the strike and were part of the "Rabochy Rukh" (Workers' Movement) initiative, under the article on treason.
On September 21, 2021, this initiative was designated an extremist organization, following which mass arrests of workers took place across the country.
He was released on bail in January 2022, and four months later it became known that the criminal case against Dmitry had been dropped.
