Viasna since

A football fan of the MTZ-RIPO club was detained on September 26, 2020 and convicted for participating in protests.

The guards of Colony No. 1 repeatedly punished Tomaz with a punishment cell and transfer to a cell-type room (PKT). In total, the anti-fascist received at least nine penalties, including for refusing to "wash toilets." Based on this, a new criminal case was opened against him under the article on "malicious disobedience to the demands of the administration," and in September 2024, he was sentenced to an additional term of imprisonment.

Released in the spring of 2026 after fully serving the sentence imposed by the court.
