In December 2022, 50-year—old Bogush was detained for an article about inciting discord - he allegedly wrote comments on social networks threatening Lukashenko and law enforcement officers.
According to Bogush, he was prompted to speak publicly on social networks by photos of beaten young people detained at protests after the 2020 elections.
The businessman said that he subsequently deleted his posts, but refused to leave Belarus, although his friends told him about it.
3.5 years imprisonment in a colony
