Artyom has Ukrainian citizenship, but he has lived in Belarus since 2009. In recent years he worked as a DJ in Brest, Kobrin, Minsk.
Artyom’s mother said that in January 2023, her son was called to the migration service and “offered to take a polygraph there.” At the end of the same month, people in civilian uniforms knocked on his home, and on January 27 he “disappeared and stopped responding to messages.” “I went to Brest several times, went to the KGB to find out why my son was taken away, what he was guilty of. They simply don’t answer me, they avoid answering. They even said: “Where did you get that we took it?” The only thing they said was: “He poses a threat to the Republic of Belarus.” No more explanations,” said Artem’s mother.
Relatives do not know what exactly the guy is accused of.
