Dmitry Rozhin

Dmitry Rozhin, born in 1996, was a skilled auto body shop master at the 'Lozanj' Renault center in Minsk before his arrest on May 12, 2025. His detention was linked to his support for a fund that aids repressed Belarusians, which led to a conviction for 'attempting to assist extremist activities' under Belarusian law. He received a three-year sentence in a general regime colony and faced further legal troubles in 2026, including a new criminal case and an additional conviction for similar charges, reflecting the ongoing political repression in Belarus following the disputed 2020 presidential elections.
