Diana left Belarus in the summer of 2023. She is the daughter of former political prisoner Andrei Ivanyushin, who was convicted for the September 19, 2020, incident near the Europa shopping center in the so-called biker case. Ivanyushin was then sentenced to two and a half years in prison. He served his entire term in the Shklov colony.
The girl does not hide the fact that she took part in protests in 2020. Fearing persecution, she left the country.
Diana was detained on September 2, 2024 in Armenia while crossing the Georgian-Armenian border, since the Belarusian side had previously declared her wanted, which the girl did not know about. Diana was later released.
Pro-government Telegram channels claim that the girl had been abroad for several years.
In the "repentance video" she was forced to talk about how difficult it was for her in other countries of the world where she traveled, so she "made the decision to return to the territory of the Republic of Belarus in order to continue to live, work, develop and start a family on our Belarusian land."
