According to his page on the social network Vkontakte, Zykun graduated from BSMU (Minsk Medical University) in 2016. Lives and works in Brest as a urologist at a regional hospital. In the winter of 2023, he was detained for donations. The “authorities” obliged to pay financial assistance to the orphanage in multiple amounts. After this, the doctor was under the close attention of security forces. The administration put pressure on him in every possible way through the deputy chief physician for ideology.

According to the prosecution , Oleg Zykun deliberately and illegally distributed personal data of employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The personal data itself was presumably taken from the Telegram channel “Nexta” (because similar information was posted there). And then he “distributed” them on the local network at work, which was discovered in the summer of 2023. By the summer of 2023, Zykun himself had no idea that in his folder on the local work network there was a file with the names and telephone numbers of Ministry of Internal Affairs employees. But this list was found as part of an administrative case in July 2023 during an inspection of the man’s equipment.

At the trial, Zykun admitted his actions. But he did not admit the intent to disseminate data from employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (which the state prosecution insists on).

Trial outcome 05.01.2024:

1.5 years of restriction of freedom in a colony under general regime conditions.

The essence of the case and the verdict were commented on by the assistant prosecutor of Brest on state television. From the video and the prosecutor’s commentary, it follows that Sankovskaya was charged with the following: in 2020 and 2021, in one telegram chat she published an image of the state flag of Belarus, and in the background there was a Nazi swastika (this was a “desecration of state symbols”), and also again in Telegram messenger published an “insulting” message about Yuri Karaev (remember that from June 2019 to the end of October 2020 Karaev was the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, after which he took the post of Assistant to the President for the Grodno region), and also in the Telegram messenger published several messages about A. Lukashenko, which were also considered “offensive.”

Programmer from Brest. Recently I lived in Poland. Detained after arriving in Belarus. On November 8, 2023, a telegram channel close to the Brest GUBOP released a “repentance video” with a man, where he said that he was detained for “numerous offensive comments.”

Solomiyuk was tried under Part 1 of Article 368 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus for publicly insulting A. Lukashenko. Before the trial, the man was also charged with Article 369 of the Criminal Code (insulting government officials), but due to the expired statute of limitations, this article was removed. As a result, the man was tried for several online comments that negatively assessed Lukashenko.

On April 23, 2024, an appeal hearing was held and the verdict came into force.

Trial outcome 14.02.2024: 2 years of imprisonment in colony under general regime conditions.

Appeal 23.04.2024: the sentence was upheld.
