According to the prosecution, on July 18, 2021, Pavel Korolevich posted a message in a group called "Online Brest" on the social network "Vkontakte" that humiliated the honor and dignity of Alexander Lukashenko and was offensive to him. Also on August 11, 2021, he posted another offensive message in the same community.
In court, Korolevich partially admitted his guilt, since the offensive comments were made specifically in relation to Lukashenko, and not in relation to the President of the Republic of Belarus in connection with the performance of his official duties.
According to human rights activists , he was released on December 25, 2024, having fully served his sentence as determined by the court.
