• Oleksandr Shestun was detained in June 2018 on charges of abuse of office and fraud. Shestun does not admit his guilt and believes that the case was initiated against him in order to prevent his re-election and the fight against landfills.
• Prior to his arrest, the head of the Serpukhov district announced threats of a criminal case because of the approval of a rally against garbage dumps. He said that he was threatened by the governor of the Moscow region Andrei Vorobyov. In April 2018, Shestun released a video message to Vladimir Putin, where he talked about being forced to resign under the threat of criminal prosecution.
• Already under arrest, Shestun went on a hunger strike for a month due to the fact that he was not allowed to participate in the election of the head of the Serpukhov region. During this time, he lost 20 kilograms.
