Andrei Vladimirovich Bychilo is a judge involved in politically motivated repressions in the Republic of Belarus. In his position, he considers administrative and criminal cases. En masse issues decisions on administrative offenses against citizens who do not support the current regime in the Republic of Belarus. As a result of his decisions, fines were issued for a total of no less than 8,530 rubles and administrative arrests for a total of no less than 115 days. He is also known for massively prosecuting participants in “non-parasite” actions (one of the alleged participants was later refused to initiate a case against a false witness-policeman). On February 28, 2023, Bychilo sentenced Nikolai Klimovich, who has a disability and suffered a stroke in May 2022, to 1 year in prison for liking a caricature of A. Lukashenko; on March 21, 2023, Nikolai was transferred to a colony. He died 2 weeks later. Thus, Andrei Vladimirovich Bychilo takes an active part in political repression in the Republic of Belarus, making politically motivated decisions to please the authorities without taking into account the interests of ordinary citizens. His work within the judiciary is focused on maintaining the position of the existing government, rather than on enforcing the law.
