On 7 December 2021, Yury was detained for taking part in the post-election protests held in Homiel in 2020, and was held in custody until the trial.
In April 2022, Yury was found guilty in a criminal case opened under the article "Organisation and preparation of actions that grossly violate public order, or active participation in them" for taking part in these protests, and was sentenced to imprisonment in a penal colony.
According to human rights defenders' calculations, he was released in January 2023 after fully serving the sentence imposed by the court.
