A citizen of Lithuania, but a native of Belarus. She worked as the head of the marketing department of the Lithuanian sanatorium "Belarus".

Ramanauskiene could have been detained last year when she was returning to Lithuania from Belarus, where she visited her relatives. The woman's relatives refused to comment to the Lithuanian publication. The Lithuanian Foreign Ministry reported that she was receiving consular assistance. The trial in the Minsk City Court began on June 3.

She was found guilty under Article 358-1 of the Criminal Code (intelligence activity). The trial was held behind closed doors, but state media reported that she was accused of "repeatedly providing information about vacationers, including high-ranking Belarusian officials." She was reportedly recruited by Lithuanian intelligence services more than 10 years ago.

On September 11, 2025, it became known that 52 political prisoners of the Belarusian regime were forcibly transferred to the territory of Lithuania. Among them are citizens of European countries , including Elena Romanauskiene .

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.
