In the summer of 2024, the couple was convicted of "treason" (Part 1 of Article 356 of the Criminal Code). They were sentenced to 12 and 8 years in prison for "treason," but in fact, for photographing a train with military equipment on the platform without any espionage intent.
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.

It is known that Dmitry's case was largely fabricated, and some of his actions were deliberately provoked by intelligence officers.
Human rights activists know that the man has been in custody since approximately December 2023. He was initially held in Minsk's Pretrial Detention Center No. 1 and then transferred to the Brest Pretrial Detention Center. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison, the first five of which will be in a penal colony.
It is known that Osiyuk lived in Bereza and has a daughter.
Ruslan Zubkov is 26 years old. According to social networks, he has lived and worked in Poland in recent years.
In December 2023, Zubkov was added to the list of members of the extremist group "Russia is Evil". This is a small Telegram chat with 135 members, where only three people are currently active. In February 2024, Ruslan was put on the wanted list in Belarus and Russia - this means that at that time he was still at large.
It is also unknown when Ruslan was detained. He was first tried in June 2024 for "insulting Lukashenko" in the Kamenets District Court. The verdict is unknown.
Details of the verdict became known from prosecutor Pleskatsevich’s comment to Pinsk state TV (the name of the accused is not named, but he is the only one who was tried in Pinsk in 2024 under the article “unrest”). The prosecutor recounted the position of the accused: on August 9, 2020, he voted at the polling station, returned home and drank a lot (about a bottle of vodka), after which “out of interest he went to look at the protesters near the city executive committee building.” What exactly the man did next at the protests, for what reasons, he did not remember due to alcohol (in his words). But the video captured what the prosecution qualified as follows: “he took an active part [in the riots], namely, with his actions he supported the pogrom and attacked the police with other protesters.”
According to the prosecution , from August 10 to August 11, 2020, at that time, minors Yulia Sharanova, Nikita Voytyuk, Nikolay Nikityuk, as well as Vasily Alekseyuk, Gleb Klimovich, Vitaly Varfalameev, Alexander Tysevich, Maxim Sobolev, were on the roadway of Masherov Avenue, Cosmonauts Boulevards and Shevchenko, st. Soviet in Brest, “ they shouted slogans, demonstrated white-red-white canvases, grossly violating public order, deliberately impeding the movement of vehicles and the normal functioning of enterprises and organizations.”
At the court hearing, everyone fully admitted their guilt.
It is also known that Maxim Sobolev, Gleb Klimovich, Yulia Sharanova were convicted, including on “narcotic” charges.
Maxim Sobolev under Part 1 of Art. 342 of the Criminal Code was sentenced to two years of imprisonment. But since Maxim was already convicted under the “narcotic” part 4 of Art. 328 of the Criminal Code, by partial addition of the main punishments and the full addition of an additional punishment, 12 years in prison were sentenced to serve in a correctional colony under a high security regime with a fine of 3,200 rubles.

It is reported that Yulia Sharanova participated in the protests when she was 16 years old. It is also known that Maxim Sobolev, Gleb Klimovich, Yulia Sharanova were convicted, including on “narcotic” charges.
Yulia Sharanova was sentenced to one and a half years in prison for participating in the August protest. But due to the fact that she was convicted under Part 4 of Art. 328 of the Criminal Code, she was eventually sentenced to 13 years in prison under general regime conditions with a fine of 3,700 rubles.
