A pro-government film (April 2024) reported that six teenagers allegedly united into an "anarchist cell called 'Black Nightingales,'" which was created "under the leadership of the National Liberation Army of Ukraine" by 16-year-old Ukrainian citizen Maria Misiuk.
ONT staff claim the teenagers united to carry out acts of sabotage, following a tip, in Belarus and then in Russia. Maria is charged under Part 2 of Article 289 of the Criminal Code (act of terrorism). According to the film, 16-year-old Maria Misyuk moved with her family from Ukraine to Belarus in 2022, where she created an "anarchist cell to prepare terrorist attacks." According to the film, Misyuk communicated with her "supervisor" online. According to ONT staff, the "supervisor," "Marichka," sent Misyuk "instructions for making an explosive device, a Molotov cocktail, and literature with anarchist and destructive content."
She was pardoned on November 22, 2025, along with 31 other Ukrainian citizens. According to Lukashenko's press service, this occurred as part of "agreements reached" with US President Donald Trump and "at the request of the Ukrainian side in order to create conditions for resolving the armed conflict in the neighboring state." The released citizens were immediately handed over to the Ukrainian side.

The trial of the second group of Baranovichi residents (9 people) began on March 28, 2024. Elena was among them. The verdict was handed down on April 11.
According to the prosecution , in August 2020, the convicted persons "shouted slogans, demonstrated white-red-white banners, obstructed the movement of vehicles and the normal functioning of enterprises and organizations."
Elena worked as a Belarusian language teacher until retirement.
The man was accused of liking and reposting a publication on Odnoklassniki with text about Lukashenko, in which he was accused of committing a serious and especially serious crime. The court saw this as slander against the politician.
Before the trial, Alexander was under recognizance not to leave. He fully admitted his guilt.
Alexander Zakharchik has a secondary education and works as a driver.
At the trial, Tatyana was accused of the fact that in October 2021 , “through correspondence on the social network Facebook, she intentionally and illegally disseminated information about personal data constituting a personal secret of an investigator of the criminal investigation department of the Department of Internal Affairs of the Mogilev District Executive Committee without his consent in connection with his official activities.” " As a result, an “unlimited circle of people” became familiar with the policeman’s personal data.
Presumably, before the trial, the woman was kept in Baranavichy pre-trial detention center No. 6: she herself lives in either the Lyakhovichi or Luninets districts, but in December 2023 she was tried twice in the Baranavichy court under Article 19.11 of the Code of Administrative Offenses (the second time she was tried via Skype). This follows from the decisions of the Baranavichy court regarding Makarova. In those administrative cases, the woman was given 10 days of arrest, a fine of 20 basic (740 rubles) and her phone was confiscated.
