Ekaterina was arrested on October 21, 2021, on terrorism charges and held in a KGB pretrial detention facility until mid-December. The charge was later changed to "organizing and actively participating in group actions that grossly violate public order."
In May 2022, Ekaterina was found guilty of participating in protests that took place in Minsk in 2020. However, the two months she spent in the KGB pretrial detention center were not counted toward her sentence. Therefore, the days from the moment she was transferred to Pretrial Detention Center No. 1 were counted toward her sentence.
She was released in February 2023, having fully served her sentence as imposed by the court.
