Vadim had recently been living in Minsk, where he was detained shortly after the arrest of his brother, Ales . He was initially charged with "insulting Lukashenko," but could face other charges as well.
In February 2026, it became known that a second criminal case had been opened against Vadim.
The case concerned comments and photographs that were allegedly found on his laptop.
The political prisoner was sentenced to a total of four years and seven months in prison.
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.
