It is known that Sergei was detained on December 13, 2020, when people went out together for street marches. On this day, another 300 Belarusians were detained.

According to data received at different times from sources , it is known that the man was searched on December 1, 2021. And in September 2022, Chopik was first detained under Article 19.11 of the Code of Administrative Offences, but when it turned out that the man simply did not have a phone where there could be some “extremist materials”, they drew up a report under Article 24.23 of the Code of Administrative Offenses. The pretext for the protocol was a black-and-white flag taped from the inside to the window of the house - only the man himself claimed that the flag appeared after he was detained and taken to the temporary detention facility.
The last round of escalation between Chopik and the security forces occurred in early March 2024: the Brest resident was detained again. After the arrest, the man was taken to the ambulance with signs of severe beating, and Chopik’s complexion was yellow (which may indicate liver damage due to the beating). On March 28, 2024, the Ministry of Internal Affairs announced that it had placed the Brest resident in a pre-trial detention center. Based on the man’s age and history (“he systematically attended criminal courts”), we can conclude that we are talking about Vitaly Chopik. He is suspected of “promoting extremist activities.”

Natalia Davydulina is 47 years old and is from Zhlobin. It is known from Natalia's social networks that she and her husband have a large family - five children, one of whom is still in elementary school.
One of Natalia's sons, Denis Davydulin, is a former political prisoner. He was detained in March 2021 and sentenced to a year and a half in prison for "going out onto the roadway and actively disobeying police officers" on the night of August 10. She has never given media interviews. Court schedules show that she was tried on January 24, 2024, for “dissemination of extremist materials.” She was likely detained during a raid on those in solidarity with political prisoners.
The trial will begin on August 23 in the Gomel Regional Court. Thus, most likely, Natalia is accused of some kind of assistance to other prisoners. It is known that during the January raid, mainly those who helped others were left behind bars - they made transfers and parcels to pretrial detention centers and colonies, even for very small amounts.
