He was arrested in early April 2024. In a "confessional" video from April 4, 2024, he "confessed" to "waving his hand" to the crowd during the rally, saying "surround the riot police," and throwing stones.

Alexander was arrested and convicted of “participating in group actions that grossly violate public order” in a criminal case opened after the August 2020 protests against the results of the presidential election.

According to the prosecution, on the night of August 9-10, 2020, Alexander, “being on the roadway and acting in a group of people, shouted slogans, demonstrated white-red-white banners, deliberately obstructed the movement of vehicles and the work of organizations, thereby taking an active part in group actions that grossly violated public order and were accompanied by disobedience to the legal demands of government officials.”

On April 18, 2024, the government telegram channel published a video about the detention of a Brest resident for participating in the 2020 protest. On camera, Dmitry says that at the protest people “used paving stones, broke benches, built barricades.” The authors of the channel do not specify under what article Postnikov is accused.

A pro-government channel showed Voronovich's arrest: at least five armed security officers wearing body armor and helmets arrived at his apartment. The Brest resident, wearing only his underwear, was thrown to the floor. In the video, the detainee says he was standing in a "linked group" on Sovetskaya Street in Brest with his brother. The brother, according to the man, is now "hiding in Poland."

The exact date of Alexander’s detention is unknown, but the page on Odnoklassniki, which he actively maintained, stopped updating in October 2021. Perhaps that's when he was detained. It is not known what else Skorokhod was doing, but from June 2018 to the beginning of 2020, he traveled to Ukraine 500 times and soon returned back, often two or three times a day. Obviously, he was transporting something across the border, but whether it was official work and what the essence was is unclear.

Alexander's trial ended on February 1, 2024. And on April 19, the appeal took place. Skorokhod was tried for “treason to the state” (Part 1 of Article 356 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus). The sanction of the article provides for a punishment of seven to fifteen years in prison. The verdict is unknown, as is the essence of the charge.

According to the prosecution materials , in December 2020, Krasko “published comments in the public domain on the Internet aimed at supporting extremist activities, propaganda and agitation of social discord and hostility towards employees of state law enforcement agencies of the Republic of Belarus, representatives of the judiciary, military personnel serving in the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus, published publicly available comments on the Internet aimed at supporting extremist activities, promoting and agitating social discord and hostility towards this category of persons."

Vladimir was arrested on December 30, 2020, as part of the criminal "Avtukhovich case" on charges of "preparing a terrorist attack," but this charge was later dropped. In May 2021, he was convicted of "violence against an official." Investigators claimed that during his arrest, he threatened investigators and smashed his mobile phone.

The "Autukhovich case" began in May 2022. During the trial, Vladimir was removed from the sessions several times and sent to solitary confinement. At one of the June sessions, he was placed in a cage in his underwear, with his hands handcuffed to the bars. In response, Vladimir went on a hunger strike, which he held for 11 days. In this case, he was convicted of "creating a criminal organization" and "attempting to seize power."

In December 2022, Vladimir was charged with insulting prosecutor Lyudmila Gerasimenko, who represented the prosecution in the "Autukhovich case," and was given an additional term. He was ultimately sentenced to 20 years in a maximum-security penal colony.
