Due to the closed nature of the trial, the merits of the case are currently unknown. It is only known that Vladimir Romanovsky was detained in Babruisk during a "pigeon feeding" event on May 9, 2020. Riot police detained approximately 15 people in the city at the time.
According to the verdict , Romanovsky has now been found guilty of publicly insulting Lukashenko on social media and has been sentenced to imprisonment.
On February 6, 2024, the court reviewed the appeal and the verdict came into force.
He was expected to be released on November 6, 2025.
