- In his former position as Head of the Department of Internal Affairs of Gomel/Homyel Region/Oblast Executive Committee, he was responsible for the repression and intimidation campaign in that region/oblast against peaceful protesters in the wake of the 2020 presidential election, in particular arbitrary arrests, excessive use of force and ill-treatment, including torture.
