In October 2021, Aliaksandr was found guilty in a criminal case of insulting Lukashenko and desecrating structures over protest graffiti and sentenced to restricted freedom with referral to an open-type correctional facility.

While serving his sentence, he was put on a preventive register as "prone to extremist and other destructive activity".

According to human rights defenders' calculations, he was released in the spring of 2023 after serving his full sentence.
