According to the case file, Vyacheslav Murnov used obscene language to comment on posts featuring Lukashenko on Odnoklassniki in October 2021 and March 2024. This was enough to land him in a prison colony. He was also ordered to undergo "compulsory treatment for chronic alcoholism."
On September 3, 2024, the appeal was heard and the verdict came into force.
According to calculations, he was supposed to be released in the spring of 2026.
