Al Jazeera English published this video item, entitled “Is political repression worsening in Belarus? | Inside Story” – below is their description.
Krystsina Tsimanouskaya went to the Tokyo Olympics to represent Belarus at the world’s biggest sporting event.
But the dramatic end to her campaign has triggered a diplomatic dispute.
The sprinter says Belarusian officials tried to force her to fly home when she complained about her coaches.
As Tsimanouskaya’s case unfolded, a Belarusian activist in Ukraine, Vitaly Shishov, was found dead in a suspected murder.
So what do these two incidents say about human rights in Belarus?
