On June 9, it became known that prisoner Artem Anishchuk was subjected to physical and psychological abuse by the colony administration from the moment he arrived at the penal colony. The torture is related to the fact that the head of the colony is a friend of Alexander Geyts, the victim in the case for which the prisoner was tried. This is not the first case of ill-treatment in IK-15. Earlier, another prisoner reported that he was beaten by Lazarenko. Another prisoner reported that the colony could send a person to a punishment cell for statistics.

Ilya was detained in March 2016 as part of a criminal case opened in 2014 after a clash between supporters of two Minsk football clubs — the "ultra-right" fans of Torpedo and the "anti-fascists" who supported Partizan. The case was initially closed, but almost a year and a half later, in February 2016, it was reopened. During the investigation in the pretrial detention center, Ilya was constantly subjected to psychological and physical pressure, and the case itself was built on testimony obtained under direct pressure and threats from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Threats were made not only against the defendants in the case, but also against their families, including Ilya's wife, who was pregnant at the time. He was convicted of "malicious hooliganism" and "leading an unregistered organization."

On December 29, 2022, he was released in accordance with the amnesty law of December 8, 2022.

Popular Belarusian blogger and creator of the YouTube channel "Country for Life" Sergei expressed a desire to run for president. However, before the start of the election campaign, he was arrested for organizing an unauthorized event. His wife, Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, submitted documents to the Central Election Commission by proxy, but Sergei was not registered as a candidate due to the lack of his signature. Subsequently, Svetlana herself was registered as a candidate. After his release, Sergei became her trusted person and participated in collecting signatures.

On May 29, 2020, he was detained again during a picket in Grodno and later convicted under several criminal articles, including "organizing mass riots" and "inciting hatred." According to human rights activists, the defendants in the "case" are required to pay compensation in the amount of 29 million rubles.

In August 2022, the court transferred Sergei to prison regime. In February 2023, he was convicted again for "malicious disobedience to the demands of the administration of a correctional institution" - an article applied to prisoners who refuse to cooperate with the administration, including for fictitious violations. As a result, another year and a half of imprisonment was added to his 18-year sentence.

On June 21, 2025, Sergey was released following a visit to Minsk by U.S. President Donald Trump's special representative, Keith Kellogg, and was immediately taken to Lithuania.
