On June 7, 2024, the appeal was heard and the verdict came into force.
On December 11, 2024, the Shklov District Court heard Igor's case under Part 1 of Article 411 (malicious disobedience to the demands of the administration of a correctional facility). Judge Alexander Tarakanov found Igor guilty and sentenced him to another eight months of imprisonment.
As Radio Svaboda reports , the political prisoner was brought from the Mogilev pretrial detention center for several days to the KGB pretrial detention center in Minsk, from where he was returned to Mogilev: "... in the KGB pretrial detention center he went to see a doctor and they listened to his heart, confirmed that the rhythm was not very even, prescribed valerian. He also wrote that after the Shklov colony he lost 15 kg, now he is gaining some weight in Mogilev."
On June 21, 2025, Igor was released after a visit to Minsk by US President Donald Trump's special representative, Keith Kellogg, and was immediately taken to Lithuania.
