Yuri was probably detained at the end of September 2024. At that time, he was convicted under Article 19.11 of the Code of Administrative Offenses (dissemination of extremist materials). After 15 days, a trial was held again under the same article, so, most likely, he was sentenced to arrest twice, after which he was detained again as part of a criminal case.

According to social networks, Yuriy's wife is Ukrainian. It is known that Yuriy worked in construction for some time, but there is no information about his last place of work.

Sentences

Once the sentence takes effect, you can only write letters to the prisoner. Under Art. 85 of the Penal Code of Belarus, convicts cannot receive money transfers from anyone other than close relatives. Parcels are also only possible from relatives. If you want to help, support the family directly if this option is available on the prisoner's page.
