Dmitry was arrested and convicted of “participating in group actions that grossly violate public order” in a criminal case opened after the August 2020 protests against the results of the presidential election.
According to the prosecution, on the night of August 9-10, 2020, Dmitry, “being on the roadway and acting in a group of people, shouted slogans, demonstrated white-red-white banners, deliberately obstructed the movement of vehicles and the work of organizations, thereby taking an active part in group actions that grossly violated public order and were accompanied by disobedience to the legal demands of government officials.”
According to human rights activists , he will be released in the summer of 2025.
Evgeny was convicted in the spring of 2024 in a criminal case brought under the article "organization and preparation of actions that grossly violate public order, or active participation in them," and sentenced to restricted freedom with referral.
He was released in early April 2026.
Trial outcome 21.05.2024
2 years restrictions of freedom with referral to an open-type correctional facility.
On March 19, 2026, he was pardoned after another visit to Minsk by US President Donald Trump's special representative, John Cole (among a group of 235 prisoners left in Belarus).
Trial outcome 21.08.2024
2 years 6 months imprisonment in a correctional colony under general regime conditions.
Milana Melnik and her mother Natalia Ganiberzina were convicted of “active participation in group actions that grossly violate public order.”
46-year-old Natalia is from Lida and is a hairdresser by profession. Her 25-year-old daughter Milana graduated from Minsk State Linguistic University and worked as an English teacher in the capital, and now teaches online. Probably both women live in Grodno.
It is unknown what sentence the family received. Judging by social networks, at least for Milana it is not associated with imprisonment: she continues to maintain her page. But there hasn’t been a single post on her mother’s account since September 2023.
Trial outcome 22.05.2024:
unknown years of restriction of freedom without direction
