Akikhira is an anarchist from Minsk detained on August 12, 2020 with Aliaksandr Frantskevich and accused of participation in mass riots. As reported, Akikhira was beaten after detention. In February 2020 a new accusation was added of participation in an international criminal organisation.

An international criminal organisation case was filed against Minsk activists Aliaksandr Frantskevich, Andrei Chapiuk, Akikhira Gajeuski-Khanada and Maryia Rabkova in February 2021. Law enforcers claim that the organisation had chapters in various cities and countries and was sponsored by some informal foundations. In early March, seven people were detained in Brest, and another 15 suspects, according to law enforcers, left Belarus.

On September 6, 2022, Akikhira was sentenced to 16 years in prison. Later the sentence was commuted by three months.
