On 27 January 2022, Dzmitry was detained for taking part in the protests held in Minsk in 2020, and he was held in custody until the trial.
In April 2022, Dzmitry was found guilty in a criminal case opened under the article "Organisation and preparation of actions grossly violating public order, or active participation in them" and sentenced to imprisonment.
According to human rights defenders' calculations, he was released in the summer of 2023 after serving his full sentence.
