An activist from Baranovichi, Igor has a third-degree disability due to a traffic accident 10 years ago that resulted in his leg being amputated. He was arrested on February 23, 2023, sentenced to 15 days in prison, and then transferred to a pretrial detention facility on criminal charges.

According to the investigation, between May 1, 2020, and May 23, 2022, Shumilov published four posts on Odnoklassniki containing satirical images, which the investigation considered insulting Lukashenko and government officials, as well as slandering Lukashenko.
