Pavel was arrested on December 6, 2021, and sentenced to 15 days of administrative arrest. He was not released after his sentence expired, and on December 21 of that year, he was remanded in pretrial detention on criminal charges of "organizing and preparing actions that grossly violate public order, or active participation in such actions."
In March 2022, Pavel was found guilty and sentenced to restricted freedom without being sent to an open correctional facility.
A court hearing on the issue of changing the sentence was held in December 2024. The outcome of the hearing, as well as Pavel's presence, are unknown.
