Political persecutions

Maxim, a former riot police officer, resigned from the service in 2012 (he had decided to leave back in 2010, after the elections). He later went to live in Poland but was forced to return to Belarus and was detained at his home in the agricultural town of Khotzezhino on August 17, 2021. Following his arrest, GUBOPiK officers recorded a "confessional" video with him, in which he spoke about his involvement in the events of August 9–11, 2020. Pro-government Telegram channels, however, portrayed him as a former security officer who resigned in protest in 2020, which was untrue.

In November 2021, Maxim was found guilty of "organizing and preparing actions that grossly violate public order, or actively participating in them" and sentenced to restricted freedom without placement in an open-type facility.

In September 2024, a court hearing was held to discuss the issue of replacing the restriction of freedom with a commitment to an open correctional facility. The outcome of the hearing, as well as Maxim's presence, remains unknown.

He explained that the trial was tense due to a dispute over a camera in the precinct, and the judge "behaved rudely," causing his blood pressure to rise. He acknowledged his guilt and immediately apologized, claiming he didn't know who the "fop" was. Despite this, he was sentenced to restricted freedom.
