Sergey was very active in commenting on various messages in more than 30 groups. The Telegram account was more or less decently protected, but he had not changed it since 2018.

The security forces accuse him of "threatening government officials on the Internet" (he left 43 thousand comments). And also of transferring some information about his former classmate, a security officer, to the "Black Book of Belarus". 58 criminal cases have been opened against him.

On September 29, 2023, he was sent to pretrial detention center No. 4 (Mogilev). On October 27, Sergei's appeal was considered in the Minsk City Court. In late autumn 2023, it became known that Sergei had been transferred to pretrial detention center No. 1 as part of a new criminal case. The trial under Article 369 (insulting a government official) was scheduled for December 7, 2023, in the Minsk Moskovsky District Court, Judge Tatyana Pirozhnikova.

Alexandra works as a manager at the logistics company Trans Solutions. The reason for the arrest was her photographs on Tinder, where she stands on the road with a white-red-white flag during one of the protest marches in 2020. The publication about the arrest appeared in one of the unofficial telegram channels of security forces. A “repentance” video was shot with the girl, where she confirms her participation in the protests. At first she was placed in a temporary detention facility, then a criminal case was opened against her.

On April 21, 2023, the appeal was considered, and the verdict came into force.

According to the prosecution, Gerasimovich desecrated the national flag by pulling the flag by its cloth while intoxicated and throwing it to the ground. After that, the flag was damaged and its staff was destroyed. The property damage to the organization on whose building the flag hung was estimated at 89 rubles - that is how much the accused must pay in compensation.

The man admitted his guilt in full and said that he pulled the flag by accident so as not to fall. He had no intention of desecrating the state symbol of Belarus.

The court considered that if the accused did not admit to intentionally desecrating the flag, he did not fully understand his responsibility and did not repent, so he decided to impose a punishment associated with imprisonment. Although the expert concluded that the accused suffers from chronic alcoholism and needs compulsory treatment.
