Bancer, lyricist and frontman for band Mister X, was detained in October 2020 for his partially nude protest in front of police. He was charged with hooliganism, likely due to his artistic profile and activism. After serving a total of roughly a year in a correctional facility, he was released in December 2021. In 2022, he was imprisoned for 45 days for “disseminating extremist materials.”
