During the arrest, he was beaten. Alexander had already been beaten before — he came under a wave of torture on the «Okrestina» during the August protests. According to the medical report published on his page, he was severely beaten during detention at the exit of the house on August 12, 2020 and on the «Okrestina», there were 47 bruises on his body.

The man submitted an application to the investigative committee with a demand to conduct a check on the fact of his beating. The initiation of a criminal case, of course, was refused.

During the consideration of the criminal case, it was established that from August to October 2020, Alexander repeatedly took part in blocking the movement of vehicles in Minsk, posted videos insulting Lukashenka on social networks.
