In July 1997, Sheremet, along with an ORT cameraman and their drivers, filmed himself crossing illegally from Belarus to Lithuania and back again to show the ease with which smugglers could cross the border. Sheremet and his companions were detained by a border patrol after jumping a fence to film unguarded areas. The journalist was later charged with illegal border crossing, “exceeding their professional rights as journalists”, and participating in a conspiracy.
In 2010 the journalist was deprived of Belarusian citizenship.
Pavel Sheremet worked for Russian channels ORT and REN-TV, in magazine “Ogonyok”, in Ukrayinska Pravda and Vesti.
