As you know, Sergei Mozol was detained on March 9, 2023. First, he was tried twice for reposting under Part 2 of Article 19.11 of the Code of Administrative Offences, and was sentenced to 5 and 15 days of arrest. And on March 29, 2023, the man was placed in custody on a criminal case.
The basis for the criminal case was that on March 11, 2022 Mozol sent one message to the telegram bot “NEXTA Editorial”: “Stolin, Brest region. Border with Ukraine. I confirm that missiles were fired from a fighter jet.” According to the prosecution, in this way Sergei Mozol deliberately contributed to the activities of the “extremist formation NEXTA.”

However, at the trial, Mozol said that he learned about the status of an “extremist formation” from the telegram channel “NEXTA” “only 4 months ago” (that is, in February 2023). When I found out about the status, I unsubscribed (and also unsubscribed from “BYPOL”, “Belaruski Gayun”, “Real Belarus”).
On September 05, 2023, an appeal hearing was held. The verdict came into force.
