Earlier, Yevgeny Olegovich Kotlyarov became known for the fact that his denunciations became the basis for the charges against several Gomel residents under administrative and criminal articles, including he was a witness in the case of human rights activist Leonid Sudalenko .

In 2023, Kotlyarov drew attention to the legality of the actions of local authorities, which led to his being sought by the police and placed in a temporary detention facility. In early 2024, under pressure from government agencies, he was forced to clean up his Facebook page.

Kotlyarov was detained in the spring of 2024 after publishing several videos in which he criticized the actions of an official of the Gomel Regional Executive Committee, Andrei Baranovsky.

Released in May 2025.

A Ukrainian citizen. The Ministry of Internal Affairs claimed that the Ukrainian was affiliated with the "extremist group" "Belarus Beyond the Moscow Ring Road," but according to human rights activists, Alexander had no connection to the project as its founder or leader—he simply left comments there.

He was pardoned on November 22, 2025, along with 31 other Ukrainian citizens. According to Lukashenko's press service, this occurred as part of "agreements reached" with US President Donald Trump and "at the request of the Ukrainian side in order to create conditions for resolving the armed conflict in the neighboring state." The released citizens were immediately handed over to the Ukrainian side.

Detained along with other young people in Baranavichy (late December 2023).

And the press service of the court announced the verdict (without naming names, but the circumstances fit this group of people). The essence of the charges is briefly stated: they were on the roadway in Baranavichy, shouting slogans, displaying white-red-white flags, “deliberately obstructing the movement of traffic and the normal functioning of enterprises and organizations.” The exact date when the protests took place is not even indicated, it is simply called “August 2020.”

Thus, in 2024, 25 residents of Baranavichy have already been sentenced for the protests of August 2020. All were sentenced to a prison colony for a period of 1 to 3 years (the only exception was that a woman with a child under 3 years of age was sentenced to a suspended sentence).
