He was arrested for participating in protests in Baranovichi in 2020. A video of the detainees was published by a Telegram channel affiliated with the security forces in July 2024. There, Alexey Pashkevich recounted that on August 9, 2020, he was in the city center, "when people started running en masse toward the police—my godfather and I went out onto the road to take photos, film, and document it all."
The court sentenced Alexei to three years of house arrest. However, in the spring of 2026, he faced a prison sentence (served in a penal colony) for three violations of the house arrest regime.
