Igor Nemirovich was first detained in early May 2022 and immediately placed under house arrest, but he escaped and left. In the fall of this year, he appealed to the commission for reviewing appeals from Belarusians abroad and returned home, but this fact was not recognized as "an unconditional basis for concluding that he repented." On September 27, 2023, he was detained again and placed in custody.
According to the prosecution , on August 10, 2020, Igor Nemirovich posted a photo on Instagram with text in an "indecent form, degrading the honor and dignity of Alexander Lukashenko, which contained a negative assessment and was offensive towards him."
At the trial, Igor admitted his guilt in full and said that from May to August 2020, he did not live in Belarus. The Brest resident learned about the events that took place in his homeland from the media. "Having succumbed to negative emotions from the events being covered," he posted a photo of an "offensive nature" regarding Alexander Lukashenko on the social network Instagram.
08/16/2024 released after serving the full sentence imposed by the court.
In October 2024, he was again detained on suspicion of "assisting extremist activity."
