Only the lawyer Anatol Kulikou, the plaintiff (Diana Charkasava, the murdered journalist's mother), and a representative of the procurator's office in Central Borough of Minsk were allowed to attend to the court session. All of them had to provide a written agreement not to disclose the materials of the hearing.

Anton Filimonau himself was not summonsed to court. He is still with his father in Moscow.
