Piotr Asipenka was born on November 18, 1999, in Minsk. He graduated from Belarusian State University.

While still studying, in 2018-2019, Piotr worked part-time in the retail chain 'Santa Retail'.

Since August 2021, according to 'Cyberpartisans', he worked in the Minsk department of the State Committee of Forensic Examinations. And since August 2022, he was listed as an employee of operational customs.

This is one of the most closed and influential units in the customs system, created to combat smuggling, grey schemes, and to track down offenders not at specific border points, but throughout the entire territory of Belarus. The department is endowed with broad powers: its employees conduct operational-investigative activities, perform the functions of an inquiry body, conduct investigations, and have their own mobile special forces units for detentions.

A case was initiated against the Minsk resident immediately under three articles: Part 1 Art. 342 (active participation in actions that grossly violate public order), Part 1 Art. 368 (insulting Lukashenka), and Part 2 Art. 356 (treason to the state). The essence of the charges is unknown, but this is a set of articles commonly used to persecute people for political views and participation in demonstrations for democracy and against election falsification in 2020.

The court sentenced him to a harsh punishment — 16 years of imprisonment in a high-security penal colony.

Moreover, Piotr is still held in the pre-trial detention center of the State Security Committee. Belarusian human rights defenders recognized Asipenka as a political prisoner.

    Здрада дзяржаве, відавочна, палягала ў тым, што ён, будучы супрацоўнікам мытні, падтрымаў законныя патрабаваньні народа аб перадачы ўлады законна абранаму прэзыдэнту Сьвятлане Ціханоўскай, і такім чынам абразіў грамадзяніна Лукашэнку.

    feafania, не только, он имел доступ, в реальном времени, ко всем серым, серо-буро-малиновым, схемам бизнеса семейства лукашенок, за это и пострадал.
    Как только, что-то, просачивается наружу, об схематозе венценосного семейства, так сразу находят экстремизм, терроризм и измену государству ( в реалиях узаконенного беззакония шведа-лукашенко, стоящего на защите схематоза лукашенок, измену им и ему).
    Зубами уцепились, за власть и финансовые потоки, и им не важно сколько будет убито и посажено беларусов...
