A renowned basketball referee. He was arrested for creating a basketball chat room.

He was detained in January 2024 while returning to Belarus. He is currently in pretrial detention. He is accused of "insulting Lukashenko" and "creating an extremist group" under Articles 361-1 and 368 of the Criminal Code.

Syritsa had previously believed that coming to Belarus was not associated with major risks. His wife was also detained at the border (she served a day in custody). The chat participants were summoned for questioning.

Alexander Syrytsa was one of the top basketball referees in Belarus for many years. He has been a FIBA referee since 2005. In 2019, Syrytsa and his colleagues filed a lawsuit against the basketball federation, lost, and was blacklisted. He lived in Australia, ran a business, and frequently visited Ukraine.

On January 16, the KGB designated the "Fund of Belarus Friend LTD" as an "extremist organization." It was then reported that Belarusian citizen Alexander Syritsa was associated with it.

On December 13, 2025, he was released after another visit to Minsk by US President Donald Trump's special representative, John Cole, and taken to Lithuania.

A 38-year-old illustrator. She quit her job at a large IT company. Her colleagues, shocked, tried to talk her out of it, so she decided to go home. She claimed she already had a certificate from the KGB showing she'd paid back the full amount of her 2020 donation. She was tired of being homeless. She was detained at the border.
According to the prosecution's case, as presented by the Prosecutor General's Office press service, between 2021 and 2022, Natalia Levaya transferred cash and cryptocurrency totaling at least four thousand four hundred rubles (equivalent to approximately 1,275 euros today) to bank accounts and virtual wallets "used by members of extremist groups, including armed groups such as the Kalinovsky Regiment." Furthermore, she was fined 1,000 basic units—almost the same amount she donated to initiatives and foundations. This is the penalty requested by the prosecution in court. The trial was held behind closed doors.

She was pardoned on February 19, 2026, in her 8th month of pregnancy.
