Dmitry's arrest became known on March 7.
Dmitry was tried for comments he left in Telegram chats and on a YouTube channel from November 2019 to January 2024. In them, he incited national and other social hatred and discord, the court found.
The man also left comments insulting police officers, journalists, government officials, and Alexander Lukashenko. In September 2020, he took part in protests.
Students of the Yanka Kupala State University of Grodno were invited to the verdict handed down by the Grodno Regional Court in the Oktyabrsky District Court of Grodno.
Alexandra was detained in February 2023 upon her return to Belarus and sentenced the next day under an administrative article for "dissemination of extremist materials" to 10 days. However, after serving her arrest, she was never released, as a criminal case was opened against her for two interviews with an information resource recognized as an "extremist group."
She was accused of assisting “extremist groups,” administering Telegram channels, inciting hatred, insulting the authorities, disseminating personal data, and slandering Lukashenko, and was convicted under eight criminal articles.
In March 2024, the court heard the appeal and reduced her sentence by one year, without the right to further appeal.
In May 2024, it became known that she was convicted again for “insulting a government official and a judge.”
In the spring of 2025, information appeared that another criminal case had been opened against Alexandra, and she was transferred to a pre-trial detention center.

Andrei is a Grodno journalist, publicist and member of the Union of Poles in Belarus. In 2011, he was sentenced to 3 years of imprisonment with a 2-year suspended sentence on charges of slandering Lukashenko. He was released in the courtroom on his own recognizance not to leave. In 2012, a new criminal case was opened against him for publications in the media, but in 2013 it was closed due to lack of evidence. In the autumn of the same year, he was released from serving his sentence in the first case.
On March 25, 2021, Andrei was detained again. He was accused of inciting hatred and calling for sanctions.
