One of the images depicts Lukashenko and the aforementioned individuals as prisoners being held in a prison cell. At his trial, Igor fully admitted his guilt. He explained that the posts appeared on his page only after he "liked" them. He himself did not understand at the time that these images could be considered insulting.
