Citizen of Poland. It is known that on July 19, 2022, Roman arrived in Belarus and disappeared: nothing was known about his whereabouts, and the South-West search and rescue team announced a search for him. Later it became known that Galuza was alive and his whereabouts had been established - without any details. But an acquaintance of Roman wrote on social networks that he was in a KGB pre-trial detention center.
In Poland, Galuza graduated from university, received citizenship, and volunteered, including helping Belarusian refugees. Roman’s detention could have been planned in advance by the Belarusian security forces.
Now he faces up to 15 years in prison.

On September 15, 2023, 57-year-old Gennady Vasilyuk was fined for "distributing extremist materials." Subscriptions to "extremist" materials were found on Gennady's Odnoklassniki page. In addition, Vasilyuk was fired from the locomotive depot "by mutual agreement."
On December 7, 2023, Gennady was detained as part of a criminal case for "slandering Lukashenko" (Part 1 of Article 367 of the Criminal Code) and placed in custody in a pretrial detention center. The case was heard on February 22 and 26, 2024.
The man was accused of posting the "like" reaction on the Odnoklassniki social network on June 8, 9, and 17, 2022, under three videos featuring economist Yaroslav Romanchuk.
Gennady admitted his guilt and reported that on the specified days in June he went to a village in the Zhabinka district, which is confirmed by an extract from a mobile operator. The man uses a push-button phone, so he could not log into Odnoklassniki in the village.
Prosecutor Yegor Kronda considered Gennady's guilt to be fully proven and requested one year and six months of imprisonment for him.
Gennady was convicted for the second time on September 16, 2024, for participating in protests. His wife and three other people were convicted along with him. According to the court, the essence of the charge against everyone was that on August 10, 2020, people in Brest "shouted slogans, whistled, clapped their hands, demonstrated white-red-white banners, and went out onto the roadway." In doing so, they allegedly grossly violated public order.
The court sentenced Gennady to one and a half years in prison, but taking into account the unserved previous (political) term, the final sentence was only 2 years in a general regime prison.
Trial outcome 22.02.2024: 1 year 6 months of imprisonment under general regime conditions.
Appeal 19.04.2024: the sentence was upheld.
Trial outcome 16.09.2024: 2 years of imprisonment under general regime conditions.
