Sergei is a military pensioner with the rank of lieutenant colonel. It is known that he participated in protests - he was detained at the Sunday march on November 8, 2020. He was stripped of his military rank by Alexander Lukashenko.
During the trial, it was established that in January 2021, Sergei posted comments with insults against Lukashenko, as well as an employee of his Security Service, on one of the “extremist” Telegram channels.
The judge imposed a sentence of imprisonment for a period of one year in a colony. But the Bobruisk district prosecutor filed an appeal.
The protest was satisfied in full - the final sentence of imprisonment for the totality of crimes was increased to two years.
