On the “repentant video” , he says that he left insulting comments about Lukashenka, and also allegedly registered in the chat bot of the Peramoga plan.
It is known that at least earlier he worked in the Ruzhansky sanatorium.
The man is accused of being the administrator of the Ruzhany 97% chat, which was recognized as extremist in January 2022. In general, the chat looks like it has been abandoned for a long time - pro-government media and videos of the security forces are reposted there, but no one deletes them.
The man's account was not hidden from the list of administrators; his profile picture and name, as well as his nickname, are on the avatar.
Dmitry was convicted of tearing down three red-and-green flags in December 2022, according to the prosecution. According to the case file, at the Sosedi store on Pushkinsky Prospekt, he "grabbed three pieces of the national flag of the Republic of Belarus from a metal rack, tore them from their plastic rods, and threw them on the floor." The prosecution characterized these actions as "motivated by political and ideological hatred."
Trial outcome 22.02.2023
1 year 6 months restrictions of freedom with referral to an open-type correctional facility.
From the video published on pro-government channels, it follows that he was detained for several comments on Telegram (in which he did not seem to offend anyone, but the security forces considered them “negative”) and for a cover of the Scorpions song “Wind of Change” from the Lirival project .
