In November 2021, Sviatlana left a sad emoji reaction under someone else's post about Lukashenko on Odnoklassniki. She was neither the author of the post nor of any comments under it. Earlier, she had twice been held administratively liable for distributing "extremist materials".
On January 20, 2022, Sviatlana was detained in a criminal case.
In March 2022, Sviatlana was found guilty in a criminal case initiated under the article on insulting Lukashenko and sentenced to imprisonment in a penal colony. The court confiscated her mobile phone as the instrument of the crime.
According to human rights defenders' calculations, she was released in December 2022, after fully serving the sentence imposed by the court.
