Arrested on September 9, 2024, for protests in 2020.
Anton Bulakh, 32, is a former firefighter with the Oktyabrsky District Emergency Situations Department. He publicly resigned in 2020. After leaving, he worked in the IT sector.
He previously ran an Instagram account where he shared stories from his work. "What's the main thing in reports? Showing the end result: the fire is extinguished, there are no casualties. I try to write in a way that's engaging for people and gives them at least a basic understanding of what happens at every stage of the firefighters' work," Anton explained.
Possibly sentenced to domestic violence.
On March 19, 2026, he was pardoned after another visit to Minsk by US President Donald Trump's special representative, John Cole (among a group of 235 prisoners left in Belarus).
