An arborist and director of the Belarbo company, who lives near the Square of Changes, was detained on September 15, 2020, as part of a criminal case on mass riots and found guilty under three articles of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus.
In September 2022, Stepan's punishment was increased and he was transferred to a prison regime for two years.
In the fall of 2024, Stepan was again transferred to IK-22.
Once the sentence takes effect, you can only write letters to the prisoner. Under Art. 85 of the Penal Code of Belarus, convicts cannot receive money transfers from anyone other than close relatives. Parcels are also only possible from relatives. If you want to help, support the family directly if this option is available on the prisoner's page.
