Alexander is an activist and former coordinator of the organizing committee for the creation of the Belarusian Christian Democracy party. In 2019, he was detained on the eve of the parliamentary elections and convicted of renting an apartment for a Russian citizen at the request of his girlfriend, who later illegally crossed the border into Poland. Alexander believes the case was fabricated, as he did not know about his intentions. He spent just over a year in prison and was released under an amnesty in late August 2020.
However, already in March 2021, Alexander was detained again and convicted for "participation in group actions that grossly violate public order" as part of a criminal case opened after a protest on September 13, 2020 in Brest.
