Evgeniy was detained and convicted for participating in a protest that took place on August 9, 2020 in Zhlobin, directed against the results of the presidential elections.
In June 2022, his sentence was increased and he was transferred to prison.
In July 2023, Yevgeny was convicted again of “malicious disobedience to the demands of the administration of a correctional institution” - an article under which prisoners are tried for refusing to cooperate with the administration and for fictitious violations.
He was released in February 2024, having fully served his sentence as determined by the court.
