Uzianbaeva is a resident of Bashkortostan. On 22 January 2024, she was arrested for 13 days under the administrative article on a failure to comply with a lawful order of a police officer (Article 19.3 of the Code of Administrative Offences) because of her participation in a mass gathering on 17 January in Baymak in support of an activist Fail Alsynov, who was sentenced to 4 years in prison.
