Lyubov was detained along with her mother during a mass raid in Belarus on October 31 in connection with the Yard Chat Case.
Lyuba is a single mother and has a six-year-old daughter. A relative has taken custody of the daughter during Lyuba's imprisonment.
While in pretrial detention (for almost a year), Lyuba was diagnosed with cancer. Despite this, her pretrial detention was not changed and she remained in custody until her trial. She was the only defendant in her case to be sentenced to home confinement, as she urgently needed chemotherapy. All the others received sentences ranging from 2.5 to 3 years in prison.
Trial outcome 14.10.2025
3 years restrictions of freedom without referral to an open-type correctional facility.
According to the court report , the essence of the charge against everyone was that on August 10, 2020, people in Brest "shouted slogans, demonstrated white-red-white banners, deliberately obstructed the movement of vehicles and the normal functioning of enterprises." In doing so, they allegedly grossly violated public order.
This is already the 14th group of people who have been convicted under Article 342 of the Criminal Code for the protests of that day in Brest.
Trial outcome 06.11.2024
