Anastasia, a former MSLU student who was expelled for participating in the 2020 protests in Minsk, was arrested in November 2021 as part of a criminal case opened under the article "organizing and preparing actions that grossly violate public order, or active participation in them," and remanded in custody pending trial.
In March 2022, she was found guilty of participating in a "linkage" at one of the protests and was sentenced to restricted freedom with referral to an open correctional facility.
She left Belarus before starting to serve her sentence.
In November 2024, a court hearing in absentia was held as part of a special proceeding on the issue of replacing the restriction of freedom with imprisonment in a penal colony.
