Belarus Olympian on hunger strike to support political prisoners

Belarus Olympian on hunger strike to support political prisoners 1 minute read Moscow, Apr 27 (EFE).- Olympic silver medalist Andrei Krauchanka said Tuesday that he was starting a hunger strike and offering one of his track and field medals for sale to show support for political prisoners held by the government of Belarus President Alexandr Lukashenko. “I do not advise anyone to imitate me, but it is very difficult to digest the horrible Belarusian reality. May the force be with you,” he said in a Telegram post sent to Efe by the Belarusian Sport Solidarity Foundation. Krauchanka, who lost his law enforcement job and was axed from the national track and field team over his support for the anti-government protests denouncing alleged fraud in the 2020 presidential elections, was arrested Nov. 8.
