Alexander was convicted for a comment he left on the social network Odnoklassniki. According to the charges, he posted a single-word offensive comment under a photograph of an Interior Ministry officer detaining a participant in an unauthorized event during the pre-election period, "intending to insult a government official in connection with the performance of their official duties." Investigators believe he used the word "volnich" twice and, with his post, "negatively assessed the actions" of Senior Lieutenant Igor Volnich of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate.

Maria, an English teacher at the Baranovichi Gymnasium, was convicted in September 2021 for her comment under a photo of Interior Ministry officer Vadim Yakimchik on the Telegram channel "Punishermen of Belarus": "...and I used to hang out with this d**k when I was younger..." A linguistic examination determined that the word "d**k" has a derogatory connotation and insults human dignity.
Yakimchik later filed a lawsuit for compensation for "moral damages," and in July 2022, the court upheld the claim.
Dmitry was convicted in September 2021 for a comment on Odnoklassniki under a photo of Andrei Komar, a senior district inspector in the Pervomaisky District of Babruisk. Komar failed to appear at the hearing and demanded 1,000 rubles in moral damages, but Dmitry only acknowledged possible damages of 10 basic units.
Vladimir was convicted in September 2021 for a comment he left on the social media site Odnoklassniki under a photograph of Vitaly Kuleshov, head of the Gantsevichi District Police Department. According to the prosecution, he intended to intentionally disparage the authority, honor, and dignity of a law enforcement officer and publicly insult him.
Vladimir was found guilty of "resisting law enforcement officers or other persons maintaining public order" in Minsk on the night of August 9-10, 2020. He was sentenced to restricted freedom and ordered to pay substantial compensation to the "victims."
Alesya was found guilty for a comment left on July 9, 2020, on Olga Karach's Odnoklassniki page under a post about a police officer from Bobruisk named Komar. Under his photo, Alesya wrote, "What a mug!"
Yulia was found guilty in August 2021 for a comment left in the "Partizany" Telegram chat under a message containing the personal information of Alina Kasyanchik, assistant prosecutor of the Frunzensky District, and information about her trial for the caption "We will not forget! We will not forgive!" According to investigators, the comment was posted with the intent to publicly insult a government official and create a derogatory image in the public eye.
In 2022, Yulia faced another court hearing for "organizing and preparing actions that grossly violate public order, or actively participating in them." She was presumably found guilty under this charge for participating in the post-election protests that took place in Minsk in 2020, as Yulia stated at her previous trial that she attended all the marches and remains a supporter of Viktar Babaryka. The outcome of the hearing is unknown.

Maxim, a former riot police officer, resigned from the service in 2012 (he had decided to leave back in 2010, after the elections). He later went to live in Poland but was forced to return to Belarus and was detained at his home in the agricultural town of Khotzezhino on August 17, 2021. Following his arrest, GUBOPiK officers recorded a "confessional" video with him, in which he spoke about his involvement in the events of August 9–11, 2020. Pro-government Telegram channels, however, portrayed him as a former security officer who resigned in protest in 2020, which was untrue.
In November 2021, Maxim was found guilty of "organizing and preparing actions that grossly violate public order, or actively participating in them" and sentenced to restricted freedom without placement in an open-type facility.
In September 2024, a court hearing was held to discuss the issue of replacing the restriction of freedom with a commitment to an open correctional facility. The outcome of the hearing, as well as Maxim's presence, remains unknown.
