Igor Losik actively participated in the coverage of the 2020 presidential campaign. He was detained at the end of June 2020. A criminal case was instituted against the blogger under articles on preparation for violation of public order and to participate in the riots.
In December 2021, the Gomel Regional Court sentenced the legged to 15 years in prison in a maximum security colony. At the same time, the blogger Sergei Tikhanovsky, the husband of the Belarusian opposition, Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, who declared his intention, were convicted of his intention to run for a long time, and four more opposition activists and bloggers.
Human rights activists recognized the moose of political prisoners.
The Western countries did not recognize Alexander Lukashenko legally elected in August 2020 for a new, sixth, Belarusian president. Several packages of sanctions were introduced against him and his environment for the brutal suppression of anti -government speeches, human rights violations and falsification of elections. Lukashenko himself rejects this.
The heads of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty repeatedly demanded that the Belarusian authorities terminate the case against the blogger and let him go to freedom.
