Nikita was detained in October 2019 and convicted of attacks on the buildings of Pre-trial Detention Center No. 1 and the Minsk City Court in Minsk in solidarity with political prisoners. He was initially sentenced to 7 years in prison, but after an appeal, the term was reduced to 4 years. In May 2020, Nikita was transferred to prison regime.
In March 2022, he was convicted again of “malicious disobedience to the demands of correctional authorities,” a charge often applied to inmates who refuse to cooperate with prison authorities. In March 2023, he was transferred back to prison mode.
Throughout his imprisonment, Nikita is constantly under pressure. He is often sent to solitary confinement, where he is kept in isolation for dozens of days. He is deprived of visits from his family, his correspondence is restricted, and his personal belongings are confiscated. In response to the harsh conditions of detention, Nikita protests with hunger strikes and by refusing to comply with the administration's demands. He is also regularly subjected to penalties for minor violations, such as refusing to clean the courtyard or for inter-cell communication.
Three months before his release, in February 2025, Nikita had another court hearing on charges of “malicious disobedience to the demands of the administration of a correctional facility,” as a result of which he was sentenced to another year of imprisonment.
By December 2024, Nikita had spent a total of 568 days in solitary confinement, including 2 months of continuous isolation.
On August 20, 2024, the appeal was considered and the sentence came into force.
According to human rights activists , he was released in early August 2025.
The basis for the criminal case against Alesya Borisova was a comment on Odnoklassniki regarding two police officers from Dubrovno: senior inspector of the law enforcement and prevention department of the Dubrovno District Department of Internal Affairs, Aleksandr Shlupakov , and detective of the drug control and human trafficking group of the Dubrovno District Department of Internal Affairs, Sergei Shramov .
On June 17, 2021, a photo of Shramov and Shlupakov appeared on one of the Odnoklassniki pages with the caption: "These employees, risking their lives, confiscated the balloons." Borisova, as she admitted in court, added the comment: "Two morons are a force."
She was released in the spring of 2024, having fully served her sentence imposed by the court.

Vladimir was arrested in July 2021 in connection with a criminal case opened following a protest on September 13, 2020, in Brest, where people were singing and dancing in circles and were attacked with a water cannon. He was convicted of "participating in group actions that grossly violate public order" and sentenced to imprisonment in a penal colony.
While in prison, Vladimir faced another trial—this time for a comment he left about Gorki traffic police officer Yuri Demyanovich on the "Punishermen of Belarus" Telegram channel. The political prisoner was sentenced to restricted freedom with a referral order, and through partial addition, his prison term was increased by six months.
Vladimir was released in April 2023, having fully served his sentence.
