A verdict has been rendered for political prisoners Hleb Herasimovich and Aliaksandr Mil'kamanovich.
The court sentenced them to six years of imprisonment in a high-security penal colony, as well as a fine of 500 base units (22,500 rubles each). The men were accused under Part 2 of Article 361-1 of the Criminal Code (participation in an extremist formation), writes Viasna.
The arrest and criminal prosecution of the defendants are linked to the KGB's decision of July 30, 2025, to recognize the coalition of initiatives Green Network (Zialionaya Setka) as an 'extremist formation'. The authorities included the initiatives Belarus Beehive, 'Green Portal', and the public association 'Ecodom' in the list of projects united under this name.
It is also known about Herasimovich and Mil'kamanovich that they are the founders of the Belarusian startup school Malimon.
During the investigation, it was assumed that the actions of Mil'kamanovich and Herasimovich could be qualified under Article 361-4 of the Criminal Code (facilitating extremist activities), but the final verdict was rendered for participation in the aforementioned formation.
The exact circumstances of the criminal case and the details of the court proceedings remain unknown at this time.
