Yarmoshuk was first detained in this case on March 23, 2023, and was held for three days. Then they released him, but on June 11, 2023 they detained him again and took him into custody.

According to the indictment, on March 1, 2022, Yarmoshuk downloaded several files from the ItArmy of Ukraine website that allow DDoS attacks. Then he launched the program on his computer “at least 8 times,” which “broke the protection system against DDoS attacks” and “the operation of unidentified Internet resources of the Russian Federation was disrupted.” Thus, according to the state prosecution, Yarmoshuk “used malicious, potentially dangerous programs.” Also on August 19, 2020, Yarmoshuk transferred about $60 to the BySOL initiative via Facebook. 7 months later (March 12, 2021), the Belarusian authorities recognized the BySOL Foundation as an “extremist formation.” The fact that at the time of the money transfer BySOL was not an “extremist formation” does not bother the state prosecution.

On January 12, 2024, an appeal hearing was held at the court. The verdict came into force.

Igor Nemirovich was first detained in early May 2022 and immediately placed under house arrest, but he escaped and left. In the fall of this year, he appealed to the commission for reviewing appeals from Belarusians abroad and returned home, but this fact was not recognized as "an unconditional basis for concluding that he repented." On September 27, 2023, he was detained again and placed in custody.

According to the prosecution , on August 10, 2020, Igor Nemirovich posted a photo on Instagram with text in an "indecent form, degrading the honor and dignity of Alexander Lukashenko, which contained a negative assessment and was offensive towards him."

At the trial, Igor admitted his guilt in full and said that from May to August 2020, he did not live in Belarus. The Brest resident learned about the events that took place in his homeland from the media. "Having succumbed to negative emotions from the events being covered," he posted a photo of an "offensive nature" regarding Alexander Lukashenko on the social network Instagram.

In October 2024, he was again detained on suspicion of "assisting extremist activity."

According to the prosecution , on May 17, 2022, Leonid Raichonok transferred $400 for body armor to Belarusian volunteers fighting on the side of Ukraine. He made a second donation in the amount of $150 to the benefit of the “Prague Support Team” (an association of Belarusians in Prague who collect donations and use them to buy uniforms, sometimes for weapons accessories, for Belarusian volunteers fighting on the side of Ukraine). The Brest resident’s actions were qualified as “financing citizens of the Republic of Belarus to participate on the territory of a foreign state in an armed formation of one of the warring parties, in armed conflicts, military operations.”

Koval was detained on May 28, 2023 right at the border. He was returning from a competition in Slovakia, and upon entering Belarus, Koval’s phone was asked to be checked. The man himself provided the security forces with his phone and password. During the examination, he was found to have data that was “prohibited” according to the Belarusian security forces. Since that day, Koval has been in captivity.

At the criminal trial, Koval was accused of sending a video to the Nexta Editorial telegram bot on March 27, 2022. The video showed the movement of military equipment on the MKAD ring road (around Minsk). Thus, according to the state prosecution, Koval committed a crime, because the Belarusian authorities consider Nexta an “extremist formation.”

Freelance journalist from Pinsk, owner of the website and TikTok page “about Stolin”.

Alexander lived alone in Polesie for a long time, so his detention became known by chance. Concerned people became worried that he had not been in touch for a long time. It turned out that Alexander was placed in Brest pre-trial detention center-7. According to unverified information, he is charged with “assisting extremist activities.”

Alexander is also the father of the guy who “dismantled” the water cannon in Minsk during the 2020 protests.

According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs , the man made videos with incriminating evidence, showed them to local entrepreneurs and demanded money for “silence.” He also allegedly “promoted the activities of an extremist telegram channel whose administrators are located abroad.”

On May 28, 2024, the appeal was considered and the verdict entered into force.

Detained for comments on social networks. Alexander is accused of “extremist calls inciting social hatred” and “insulting government officials.” The pro-government Telegram channel showed screenshots of messages that implicate Polivko. For example: “Collaborators and slaves, it’s disgusting to watch! So that they all get angry and impale this mustachioed fascist.”

Thus, according to the prosecution, on June 14, 2021, under the publication of the telegram channel “Belarus of the Brain,” Alexander wrote a message where he said that he once worked at Lukashenko’s residence, and one of his colleagues talked about his conversation with Lukashenko’s security guard. And according to the guard, Lukashenko personally, due to faults on the part of the guard, could put them in a row and “punch through the plywood” (strike with all his might in the chest or stomach so that the person bends over from such a blow). Apparently, this comment was written under a post with the title “BYPOL: Roman Protasevich was personally beaten by the dictator” (all comments under the post have been deleted at the moment). At the trial, Polivko was asked to name what kind of colleague told such a story - but the man could not remember either his name or other personal details, because. he worked at the residence for a very long time, around 2008-2009. But finding an ex-colleague based on documents would be unrealistic, because... they worked without official employment. He was also convicted for 4 more comments under various articles of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus.

The man left behind two minor children (they are 14 years old and 4 years old).

As follows from the press release of the Brestobl Court, Evdokimenko was charged with the fact that from August to December 2020 he transferred “personal and other personal data of employees of internal affairs bodies for public dissemination on the Internet.” At the same time, I took the data from databases to which I had access at work. Presumably he worked at the Brest BTI.

On October 10, 2024, the appeal was considered and the verdict entered into force.
