Updated IOC guidelines released last month say that disciplinary consequences for protests will be "proportionate to the level of disruption and the degree to which the infraction is not compatible with Olympic values."

Was there a disruption?

If she is violating the IOC rules then she should be punished as allowed.

She has plenty of other outlets in which to express her displeasure with what it is she is displeased.
