Yury Lahutsin worked at a meat processing plant.
In January 2022, Yury was found guilty in a criminal case opened under the article "Organization and preparation of actions that grossly violate public order, or active participation in them" for taking part in a post-election protest held in Zhlobin on 9 August 2020.
In May 2023, while serving this sentence in Hrodna, Yury was fined over materials from channels labelled "extremist" that were found in his YouTube account.
According to human rights defenders’ estimates, he was released in November 2023 after serving the full sentence imposed by the court.
