Alexander is an activist and former coordinator of the organizing committee for the creation of the Belarusian Christian Democracy party. In 2019, he was detained on the eve of the parliamentary elections and convicted of renting an apartment for a Russian citizen at the request of his girlfriend, who later illegally crossed the border into Poland.

However, already in March 2021, Alexander was detained again and convicted for "participation in group actions that grossly violate public order" as part of a criminal case opened after a protest on September 13, 2020 in Brest.

Victor is an entrepreneur involved in website development.

After the protests began and the first deaths occurred in 2020, he tried to make it difficult for special equipment to disperse the demonstrators by scattering screws several times at the exit from the building where the special border unit was stationed.

For this, Viktor was convicted under the article “hooliganism” and sentenced to restriction of freedom with referral to an open-type correctional facility.

In April 2022, the punishment was toughened: restriction of freedom was replaced by imprisonment. His mother, Galina Sergeevna Parkhimchik, who was subsequently also subjected to repression, acted as his defense attorney.

During his imprisonment, Viktor was held in a number of institutions: the temporary detention facility on Okrestina, Pre-trial Detention Center No. 8, Pre-trial Detention Center No. 5, Pre-trial Detention Center No. 1, Pre-trial Detention Center No. 7, the temporary detention facility in the city of Kamenets, Correctional Institution No. 45, and IK-17.

On September 14, 2022, he was released, having fully served his sentence imposed by the court.

Today, Victor continues to work in the field of web development and is open to professional cooperation.

Trial outcome 15.01.2021
2 years restrictions of freedom with referral to an open-type correctional facility.
