On April 22, 2008, Dubski was sentenced to two years of restricted liberty for participation in a rally of entrepreneurs in Minsk in January 2008. The youth activist had to left for Ukraine as militia officers had given him two far-fetched warnings for violation of the rules of serving.

The oppositionist was guarded to a detention facility in Asipovichy (at his place of residence) and then transferred to a detention center in Babruisk.
