Transcript of the leaked recording of the conversation between Krystsina Tsimanouskaya and 2 Belarus sport officials: the head of the Belarus athletics team Yuri Moisevich and Belarus athletics team representative Artur Shumak.
Full text.
Shumak: Well, we have a situation here. It must be resolved somehow. There is no way around it. And we've got the following instruction: You’re flying home today.
Just let me finish and don’t rush to any conclusions. The situation is that there is a big ask: You come home — you don’t write anything anywhere, and you don’t make any comments. Let me convey to you word for word what I've been told, just to avoid any [misunderstanding] later.

#Belarus. An anonymous telegram channel has published an unverified record without specifying its sources of the conversation which purportedly took place between Krystsina Tsimanouskaya and 2 Belarus sport officials.
The information - thought, uncorroborated - seems important.
Once again, the recording is unverified, but if true then it appears that the head of the BY athletics team in Tokyo, Yuri Moisevich, while trying to to persuade Krystsina Tsimanouskaya to withdraw from the Olympics, contemplates her possible suicide by jumping out of the window
EXCERPT FROM THE RECORDING.
Humble yourself. Don't show off your pride. Your pride tells you, "No" and starts devils cycle, and then the pride starts to control you, understand? That's how people end up in suicide, unfortunately.

“For now, I reckon, I am safe”.
Yesterday [July 31], the head coach of the national team, Yuri Moisevich, came to me. He suggested that I refuse to participate in the 200-meter run - to say that I have an injury, to shoot and fly home.
At the moment, he said, they want to remove me only from the Olympics, but if I refuse [to drop from the tournament] and if I run a distance of 200 meters, then I will be removed from the national team, deprived of work and, perhaps, there will be some other then the consequences

#Belarus. 10 students, one alumni, one tutor were sentenced to prison terms (most to 2.5 years each) for ostensible "organized crime" and "organizing mass riots".
Most of them are in jails since Autumn 2020.
source RFERL
Student of Belarus Academy of Arts Maria Kalenik got 2.5 years in prison.

In her last word she talked about her love to Belarus and the future of the country.

Crackdown on journalism continues in #Belarus. Number of prominent journalists have been arrested today. Raids of journalists’ houses are taking place. Minsk office of @RFERL is being raided (Lukashenka thugs broke the door to get in; they have seized the equipment).
RFERL journalist Aleh Gruzdzilovich has been arrested.
Lukashenka thugs handcuffed Aleh. They took away all the phones (his and his wife) and all the laptops. They took all the cash money (including from the pocket of his wife). 9 people participated in the arrest.
Belsat journalist Anna Galeta has been arrested.

Horrifying story from #Belarus. After yet another interrogation by Lukashenka thugs, 17-year-old participant of protests in August 2020 Dzmitry Stakhouski blamed the Investigative Committee in his last post and jumped from a 16th floor window the same day.
Source: @viasna96
TRANSLATION of the last post of 17-year-old Dzmitry Stakhouski.

If you read this, that means I am no longer alive.
The Investigative Committee is to blame.
It's not a secret that there was [a criminal case on the] Article 293 part 2 [of the Criminal Code] against me. In short, [they opened the case] for rallying. I don't think I would do such a horrible thing as suicide if they would not continue to exert moral pressure on me.
