Minsk demands official briefing of Japanese authorities on Kristina Tsimanuskaya

The Belarusian Embassy in Tokyo has formally requested information from the Japanese authorities on the Belarusian athlete Christina Tsimanuskaya, who is seeking political asylum after refusing to board a flight to Belarus after being transported involuntarily by Belarusian athletes to Tokyo airport.

The Belarusian sprinter, who was to run yesterday in the 200-meter race, was transported to the airport of the Japanese capital after publicly criticizing her country’s training team and was going to board a Turkish Airlines plane. He asked for help from the Japanese police on the spot and today he entered the Polish embassy in Tokyo, where he will reportedly ask for political asylum.
