On June 9, it became known that prisoner Artem Anishchuk was subjected to physical and psychological abuse by the colony administration from the moment he arrived at the penal colony. The torture is related to the fact that the head of the colony is a friend of Alexander Geyts, the victim in the case for which the prisoner was tried. This is not the first case of ill-treatment in IK-15. Earlier, another prisoner reported that he was beaten by Lazarenko. Another prisoner reported that the colony could send a person to a punishment cell for statistics.

According to the materials of the prosecution, Oleg Krichkovsky, being at his place of residence, on the evening of December 31, 2020, under the image of Alexander Lukashenko in vk.com during the presentation of the highest insignia of the special police unit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs — a black beret — he left an offensive comment, which, according to the expert opinion, is a non-normative form of speech expression and carries a negative assessment of Lukashenko.
Krichkovsky refused the services of a lawyer, and explained to the court that on New Year's Eve he drank a glass and under the influence of emotions left an offensive comment, which he later completely forgot. Therefore, I was surprised when in May 2022 he was called to the police department, where he was familiarized with the contents of the message. At the same time, he was detained.
In the summer of 2023, he was released upon expiration of his sentence.

Special forces stormed Yan's apartment. During the arrest, the officers fired a shot from an automatic weapon and wounded the dog, which had started barking at them.
Yan spent a month in a KGB pretrial detention center, where he was tortured and unable to walk. BT reports portrayed Yan as a mercenary planning to go to Ukraine. It is known that Yan pleaded not guilty at his trial. One of the witnesses stated that "they pressured him, and he signed whatever they told him." As evidence of Yan's guilt, the investigation presented his private correspondence with his wife, as well as with friends who, according to investigators, serve in Kalinovsky's regiment in Ukraine.
Yan worked as a cash collector at Belgazprombank.
In March 2024 and April 2025, Yana was convicted twice under the article “malicious disobedience to the legal demands of the colony administration,” and in total, another year of imprisonment was added to her existing sentence.
