Pavel was convicted of "participating in group actions that grossly violate public order" in a criminal case opened following a protest that took place in Brest on September 13, 2020. During the protest, people were singing and dancing in circles when a water cannon was used against them.
In December 2024, as part of a special proceeding in Pavel's case, a court hearing was held in absentia to replace the restriction of freedom with imprisonment in a penal colony.
