Activist and volunteer Olga was detained in March 2021. Physical violence was used against her at the time of her detention. She was convicted of participating in protests that took place in Minsk in 2020 against violence and the results of the presidential elections, as well as under the article on "creation of an extremist group or participation in it."

Olga was an election observer, volunteered near the Minsk detention center in Okrestina Lane, and later in the courts. She was detained several times during street protests and fined significant amounts.

In September 2024, Olga was released, having fully served her sentence imposed by the court.
