The wife of political prisoner Artem Anishchuk , was detained on November 4, 2022. Then she was sentenced to 10 days of arrest for reposting a post from Nasha Niva. After 10 days, Olga was not released. A “repentant video” appeared with her, in which she says that she was subscribed to “extremist” channels and made reposts from them. Pro-government telegram channels wrote that Anishchuk "is a candidate to spend the New Year in a temporary detention facility, as dozens of reposts have been recorded." Also, according to the security forces, Olga "fueled the situation around the penitentiary system with stuffing and fakes, bombarded government agencies with far-fetched complaints." On November 16, Olga was sentenced to 14 days of arrest for reposting from the Zerkalo telegram channel. On November 28, she was sentenced to another 10 days of arrest.

According to human rights activists, Olga has already been ill with bronchitis twice behind bars, as she is kept in inhuman conditions and sleeps on a concrete floor. In the Mogilev TDF, where she was transferred after the Akrestsin TDF, she is bullied and pressured - three times a day she is forced to undress to the naked and squat. In protest against this, on November 28, Olga Anishchuk went on a hunger strike.

On December 8, 2022, Olga left the temporary detention facility at the end of her administrative arrest.
