April 2, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> Committee for State Security (KGB) agents have arrested Maksim Urbanovi\u010d, whose brother Dzianis Urbanovi\u010d is currently fighting Russia in Ukraine, Belsat<\/em> reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Law enforcers have sealed the apartment, in which Maksim resided with his girlfriend. His current whereabouts are unknown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last spring, Maksim was jailed for 10 days on charges of petty hooliganism. Reports said that he was severely beaten by the KGB agents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belsat<\/em> says that he has not been in contact with his brother Dzianis, a member of the Belarusian Kastu\u015b Kalino\u016dski Regiment (KKR), for at least two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dzianis Urbanovi\u010d was a leader of the Ma\u0142ady Front opposition movement that promoted patriotism among Belarusian youths. In August 2022, authorities branded it an \u201cextremist\u201d group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In late 2021, Dzianis fled to Ukraine to join the KKR following his persecution in Belarus over 2020 postelection protests. He was wounded two years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
