According to the case materials, in August 2020, a member of the group chat used his mobile phone to post messages from his account containing statements of an inciting nature and calls for physical violence against law enforcement officers.
On August 15, 2020 and February 12, 2021, he posted offensive comments in a Telegram chat about the president, as well as the military commissar of the Gomel region, Andrei Krivonosov.
He was released in June 2024, having fully served his sentence as determined by the court.
Konstantin was arrested on May 12, 2021, for participating in a work Telegram chat called "Volnae Panstva," where he and colleagues discussed the protests and made comments about Lukashenko. He was sentenced to administrative arrest, after which he remained in custody, as a criminal case had been opened against him for group actions grossly violating public order and for the use of violence against a law enforcement officer.
In September 2021, Konstantin was found guilty of three criminal charges for participating in a post-election protest that took place in Rechitsa on August 9, 2020. He attempted to prevent the arbitrary detention of protesters and, as police were loading the detainee into a police vehicle, pushed Rechitsa police officer Dmitry Garay in the back. He was also charged with insulting Lukashenko.
He was released in February 2024, having fully served his sentence.
After his release, Konstantin was again subject to administrative charges for missing an ideological lecture. He subsequently left Belarus.
Maxim was arrested in March 2021 and convicted twice for “participating in group actions that grossly violate public order.”
He was released in July 2022, having fully served his sentence as determined by the court.

The social activist was detained on January 3, 2021, at her home after security forces broke down the door, conducted a search, and seized some of her belongings. Polina was convicted of "threatening to use violence against an internal affairs officer" and "insulting a government official." She refused to testify either during the investigation or in court.
In April 2022, Polina's sentence was extended on charges of "disobeying the demands of the prison administration," and in October 2023, she was convicted again under the same article. Polina is the first female political prisoner in Belarus to be convicted under this article. The article is used against prisoners who refuse to cooperate with the administration, often for alleged violations.
The political prisoner is systematically subjected to psychological pressure and physical violence; she has been repeatedly placed in solitary confinement, punishment cells and punishment cells.
The BNR Rada awarded Polina Sharendo-Panasyuk the Order of the Pursuit.
In March 2024, a propaganda story about Polina accidentally showed a yellow tag indicating the end date of her imprisonment: May 21. However, she was not released on that day, and she was charged for the third time with “disobeying the prison administration,” for which she was convicted again in October 2024.
She was released on February 1, 2025, having fully served her sentence (4 consecutive terms).

Victoria, the administrator of the "Drivers 97%" channel, was detained on November 4, 2020, in Minsk by GUBOPiK officers and convicted of "calling for mass riots and roadblocks due to dissatisfaction with the government and election fraud."
In 2022 and 2023, the court twice increased her sentence, accusing her of "malicious disobedience to the demands of the correctional facility administration." Victoria had repeatedly been subjected to pressure in the penal colony and was deemed a "malicious violator."
In October 2024, in the Rechitsa District Court, Victoria was convicted for the third time under the article "malicious disobedience to the lawful demands of the penal colony administration" and sentenced to another year of imprisonment.
In early 2025, Polina Sharendo-Panasyuk reported that Victoria and Elena Gnauk had been placed in a punishment cell: "After several weeks in solitary confinement, they were transferred to a punishment cell. There's a 99% chance they'll be charged again under Article 411."
Polina also added: "Viktoria Kulsha's kidneys have probably already failed. She went on hunger strikes for months, refusing water and drink. She slit her wrists. They threw her in solitary confinement for this—she slit her wrists in solitary confinement. She went on hunger strikes in the PKT. She refused medical attention."
Victoria was scheduled to be released in April 2025 upon completion of her sentence. However, at the beginning of the month, she was transferred to Gomel Pretrial Detention Center No. 3 as part of a fourth criminal case under the article "malicious disobedience of the legal demands of the prison administration." In June of that year, her sentence was extended by another year.
On December 13, 2025, she was released following a visit to Minsk by US President Donald Trump's special representative, John Cole, and taken to Ukraine.
