March 26, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> Authorities have released Maksim Urbanovi\u010d after he served 10 days in jail on charges of petty hooliganism, a source who wished to remain anonymous has told Pozirk<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other details of his arrest and persecution are unknown. Maksim\u2019s brother, Dzianis Urbanovi\u010d, leader of the Ma\u0142ady Front opposition youth organization, is currently fighting Russia in Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On March 23, rights groups reported mass arrests of Ma\u0142ady Front members. Reports also said that Maksim was severely beaten by the Committee for State Security agents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dzianis Urbanovi\u010d has headed Ma\u0142ady Front since 2018. Belarusian police persecuted him over his participation in 2020 postelection protests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In late 2021, he fled to Ukraine to join the Kastu\u015b Kalino\u016dski Regiment. He was wounded in combat in January 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founded in 1997, Ma\u0142ady Front promoted patriotism among Belarusian youths. In August 2022, authorities branded it an \u201cextremist\u201d group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
