The verdict notes that they took part in the actions “for the purpose of publicly expressing their socio-political views and protest through illegal means, and conducting destructive activities aimed, among other things, at aggravating tension in society.”
At the trial, all three admitted guilt.
From the case materials, it is known that they were identified from video recordings and photographs from the roadway at protest rallies. It is known that one of the brothers was immediately detained and placed in a temporary detention center on Akrestsin. After this, the security forces became interested in the second brother.
