Original title: Belarusian Olympic athletes arrive in Poland, start life in exile
According to NHK news, on the evening of August 4th local time and early morning of August 5th Japan time, the Belarusian female track and field athlete Christina Dimanusskaya, who came to Japan to participate in the Olympic Games, successfully flew to Warsaw, the capital of Poland. Start your life in exile as you wish.
From the video sent locally, it can be seen that after Dimanusskaya walked down the gangway, the Polish government officials and supporters who came to greet him greeted him with greetings, sometimes smiling.
Prior to this, Dimanusskaya came to Japan to participate in the Tokyo Olympics, during which she expressed dissatisfaction with the team arrangement on social media. She said that this move was “accused of’criticizing the regime’ and she would be forcibly sent back to her country”. For this reason, Dimanusskaya refused to return to Belarus and expressed her wish to seek asylum in other countries. Later, out of humanitarian considerations, Poland, the neighboring country of Belarus, issued a visa to Zimanusskaya. Zimanusskaya then set off from Narita Airport and traveled to Poland via Vienna, Austria.
