List of repressed
Yuri was convicted in a criminal case opened under the article on insulting Lukashenko. The reason for the prosecution was his telephone call to the police on September 3, 2020, after the death of Gennady Shutov, whom Yuri knew personally. According to him, while intoxicated, he decided to speak out about what was happening and called 102.
On the same day, Yuri was detained. During the detention, law enforcement officers used physical force against him, as a result of which he suffered broken ribs and a broken jaw. He was also given an administrative penalty - 7 days of arrest. At the court hearing, he said that he did not file a complaint about the beating, considering himself "unworthy of attention" and adding that "he knew what he got it for." Yuri admitted his guilt in full.
He was released in December 2022, having fully served his sentence as determined by the court.
Alexander was twice brought to administrative responsibility for posting leaflets and was convicted because, according to the state prosecution, they contained information of an offensive nature regarding an employee of the Leninsky District Department of Internal Affairs of Brest, which became the basis for a criminal case.
Alexander managed to leave Belarus before he began serving his sentence.
In December 2024, a court hearing was held in absentia to replace the restriction of freedom with imprisonment in a penal colony.
