Vitaly Eduardovich Kulesh supports the Lukashenko regime and politically motivated repression. He was part of the commission that toughened the sentence for Yuzef Nemero. The original sentence handed down by the Oktyabrsky District Court of Grodno was 2.5 years of restricted freedom without being sent to a correctional facility. The new sentence is 1.5 years of imprisonment in a general regime colony. The man was convicted of kicking a riot police officer in the thigh on September 6, 2020, while defending a girl. However, the victim did not suffer any physical harm. Only moral damage and a dirty uniform.

Alexander was detained in the winter of 2021 and convicted under articles on insulting Lukashenko and inciting hatred on the basis of social affiliation - in relation to police officers. The case of insulting Lukashenko was initiated for a comment on Telegram left by Alexander on September 27, 2020. Under another article, the criminal case was based on messages posted by him from July to October 2020, which, according to the investigation and the court, contained calls for aggressive actions against police officers.
According to human rights activists, Alexander was released in May 2024, having fully served his sentence imposed by the court.
Yuzef, a pensioner, was detained after participating in the "March of Unity" action, which took place on September 6, 2020, in Grodno. He was charged under articles on participation in group actions that violate public order and on the use of violence or the threat of its use against a police officer - because he defended a woman from the brutal actions of riot police.
Initially, Yusef was sentenced to restricted freedom in an open-type institution, but after an appeal by the prosecutor's office, the sentence was reviewed, and ultimately he was sentenced to imprisonment in a general regime penal colony.
He was released in July 2022, having served his full sentence.
