Oleg was tried for having painted several walls in the entrance of a multi-story building in February 2023. The inscriptions contained insults to A. Lukashenko.
Kardash was detained for the first time in March 2023. He was tried three times under administrative articles. Each time, he was sentenced to "24 hours." The first trial took place on March 9, 2023, because a video from August 2020 with the TUT.BY logo was found on the man's Odnoklassniki social network. The second trial took place on March 17, because cutting boards with "an image of a dog in a helmet with the SS emblem, a board with an image of a man in a helmet with the SS emblem" were found at the man's home - that is, Kardash allegedly "stored items with Nazi symbols for the purpose of distribution." The third trial took place on March 29 because he shared a video on the Odnoklassniki social network: the video had the Nexta logo (there was a brutal suppression of the Minsk protests that took place on the night of August 9-10, 2020). Kardash shared this video on August 14, 2020.
On September 12, 2023, the appeal was heard and the verdict came into force.
According to human rights activists, he was released in October 2024, having fully served his sentence as determined by the court.
✏️ A postcard with words of encouragement (a poem by your favorite author, song lyrics, or a beautiful quote). Trust us, even such simple gestures are very meaningful to a person in jail.
✏️ Your life events. To a person who is in isolation for a long time, any story about your routine endeavors will be a window into normal life. Your day-to-day worries and mundane matters are much more interesting than the daily grind of life behind bars.
✏️ It is important to share news. Mention the most notable and interesting occurrences depending on your pen-pal's interests.
