His trial began on September 4, 2023 in the Minsk City Court. This is the same Minsk resident whom people “recaptured” from arrest at a picket to collect signatures on May 31, 2020, after he shouted “Ganba!” by traffic police officers. Now Evgeniy is being tried in a criminal case.

On November 17, 2023, an appeal hearing was held and the verdict came into force.

Once the sentence takes effect, you can only write letters to the prisoner. Under Art. 85 of the Penal Code of Belarus, convicts cannot receive money transfers from anyone other than close relatives. Parcels are also only possible from relatives. If you want to help, support the family directly if this option is available on the prisoner's page.
