In September 2021, Natallia served 30 days of administrative arrest for reposting materials from "extremist" channels. This happened during mass detentions in a criminal case opened over online comments after the deaths of KGB officer Dzmitry Fiadosiuk and IT specialist Andrei Zeltser in Minsk.

On 2 November 2021, Natallia was detained in a criminal case over collecting and disseminating personal data. It is not known whether she was held in custody before the trial.

In February 2022, at a closed court hearing, Natallia was found guilty in a criminal case opened under the article "Illegal actions with information about private life and personal data" for collecting and disseminating personal data of Interior Ministry employees.

According to human rights defenders’ estimates, she was released in May 2022 after serving the full sentence imposed by the court.
