Yevgeny was arrested in July 2025 in connection with a criminal case opened under the article "assistance to extremist activity" after Belarusian security forces gained access to the chats of a bot belonging to the monitoring project "Belaruski Gayun," where people were sending information about Russian troop movements.

In March 2026, Evgeniy was found guilty and sentenced to imprisonment in a penal colony.

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.
