A pro-government telegram channel published a video about the detention of a Belarusian woman who took part in protests in 2020 and “obstructed the passage” of a traffic police car. As the authors of the channel write, a criminal case was opened against the girl. It is not specified under which article.

It is known that Natalya graduated from BSTU in 2022.

On March 19, 2026, she was pardoned after another visit to Minsk by US President Donald Trump's special representative, John Cole (among a group of 235 prisoners left in Belarus).
