From 1985 to 1986, he served in the army as an armoured vehicle driver in an antitank artillery battalion near Yekaterinburg (then Sverdlovsk), Russia.{{Cite web|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-63172009|title=Nobel Peace Prize: Who is Ales Bialiatski?|date=7 October 2022|website=BBC News|access-date=7 October 2022|archive-date=7 October 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221007104154/https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-63172009|url-status=live}}

Bialiatski was Secretary of the Belarusian Popular Front (1996–1999) and deputy chairman of the BPF (1999–2001).

Bialiatski founded the Viasna Human Rights Centre in 1996. The Minsk-based organization which was then called “Viasna-96”, was transformed into a nationwide NGO in June 1999. On 28 October 2003 the Supreme Court of Belarus cancelled the state registration of the Viasna Human Rights Centre for its role in the observation of the 2001 presidential election. Since then, the leading Belarusian human rights organization has been working without registration.{{cite web |url=https://spring96.org/en |title=About Viasna |date=|publisher=Viasna Human Rights Centre |access-date=17 November 2022}}

Belarusian human rights activists, as well as the European Union leaders, EU governments, and the United States said that Bialiatski was a political prisoner, calling his sentencing politically motivated. They urged the Belarusian authorities to release the human rights activist. On 15 September 2011 a special resolution the European Parliament called for Bialiatski's immediate release.{{cite web |url=https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/TA-7-2011-0392_EN.html |title=European Parliament resolution on Belarus: the arrest of human rights defender Ales Bialatski |work=www.europarl.europa.eu |access-date=3 March 2023}} The activist's release was also requested by EP President Jerzy Buzek,{{cite web |url=https://www.europarl.europa.eu/former_ep_presidents/president-buzek/en/press/press_release/2011/2011-November/press_release-2011-November-35.html |title=EP President urges to release Byalyatski and other political prisoners |work=www.europarl.europa.eu |access-date=3 March 2023}} EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Catherine Ashton, OSCE Chairman Eamon Gilmore,{{cite web |url=https://www.osce.org/cio/87183 |title=Bialiatski should be set free, says OSCE Chairperson |work=osce.org |access-date=3 March 2023}} and the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Belarus, Miklós Haraszti.{{cite web |url=https://news.un.org/en/story/2013/08/446032 |title=UN expert urges authorities to release Ales Bialiatski |date=2 August 2013 |work=news.un.org |access-date=3 March 2023}}

• On 11 August, Amnesty International declared Bialiatski a prisoner of conscience.[Belarus must free activist held on tax evasion charges]
• On 12 September, the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) launched a campaign to advocate for Bialiatski's release and inform more generally about political prisoners in Belarus.[International mobilisation of the FIDH network to demand the release of Ales Bialiatski]
• Tatsiana Reviaka, Bialiatski's colleague at Viasna and the President of the Belarusian Human Rights House in Vilnius, said that "the reason behind these charges is the fact that our organisation Viasna has been providing different assistance to victims of political repressions in Belarus.[Call for immediate and unconditional release of Ales Bialiatski]
• "Belyatsky's arrest is a clear case of retaliation against him and Viasna for their human rights work. It's the latest in a long series of efforts by the government to crush Belarus's civil society", Human Rights Watch said in a statement.[Belarus: Leading Rights Defender Detained]

Bialiatski served his sentence in penal colony number 2 in the city of Babruysk, working as a packer in a sewing shop.{{Citation needed|date=May 2023|reason=BLP, needs IS RS.}}

During his time in prison, Bialiatski wrote many texts on literary topics, essays, memoirs, which were posted to his associates.{{Citation needed|date=May 2023|reason=BLP, needs IS RS.}}
