Before the verdict, all but Lyudmila Tsybulskaya were in custody. They were released in the courtroom.

They were found guilty for participating in one of the Minsk Marches. According to the charges, they disrupted the operation of public transport by going out onto the roadway during protests, shouting slogans, clapping, and holding a flag. Yuri Dikovich was also tried for another March. Dikovich, Levko, and Pleshavenya pleaded guilty in full, Tsybulskaya - partially. Dikovich said that he had planned to participate in the Marches in advance because he did not agree with the use of violence against protesters.

Levko did not agree with the election results, Tsybulskaya and Pleshavenya came "out of interest."
