Zukhra, a native of Uzbekistan, was found guilty in October 2021 of "violence or threat of violence against a law enforcement officer," "insulting a government official," and "defamation." According to the prosecution, she publicly insulted the head of the Polotsk District Department of Internal Affairs, Alexander Garus. Among the "victims" are also Lieutenant Colonel Denis Karasev, head of the Law Enforcement Department of the Public Safety Prevention Department, and Major Vitaly Sheshukov, deputy head of the Polotsk Pretrial Detention Center, whom she allegedly threatened.
Despite the fact that Zukhra cares for a child with a disability, she was sentenced to restricted freedom and sent to an open correctional facility.
In September 2024, the Presidium of the Vitebsk Regional Court heard Zukhra's criminal case in open court following a cassation appeal by the Deputy Prosecutor General of the Republic of Belarus. Following the hearing, the charge of "insulting a government official" was overturned, and the prison term was reduced by two months.
In January 2025, 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.
