Yauhen Pashaliuk is a resident of Kamieniec (Brest region). He was sentenced to two years of restricted freedom and sent to an open-type correctional facility for insulting a judge (Article 391 of the Criminal Code).
Several years ago, Pashaliuk caused a traffic accident, for which he received a fine. Yauhen decided to appeal the ruling through the court. The trial was conducted by the same judge, about whom Pashaliuk spoke unflatteringly in a messenger. In court, Yauhen expressed regret about what he had done and explained his action by his resentment against the judge.
On September 16, 2021, the convict was pardoned and released.
