A taxi driver who was harshly detained by riot police at the end of January 2023 while he was waiting for an order near the bus station. Friends had been waiting for Roman since “days”, as they knew that he was detained for old likes on the Odnoklassniki social network. But then it turned out that the man was detained under Art. 367 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus.

On June 21, 2023, an appeal court hearing was held. The verdict came into force.

According to estimates, the human rights defender will be released at the end of 2023 upon expiration of his sentence.
