schema:articleBody	The Czech foreign minister said Wednesday he could not imagine next year's World Ice Hockey Championship taking place in Belarus whose regime keeps cracking down on peaceful protests. Belarus has been shaken by protests against strongman President Alexander Lukashenko's 26-year rule ever since an election in August in which he claimed victory. The vote sparked massive rallies across Belarus which is set to co-host the tournament in May and June 2021 with Latvia. The Baltic state has already said it did not want Belarus to be involved. "Holding a big event such as the world championships in a country where violence against peacefully protesting people continues... I can't imagine that," Czech Foreign Minister Tomas Petricek said in a tweet. He told reporters in Prague that "we should not legitimise a repressive regime of the Alexander Lukashenko type by letting it organise the World Ice Hockey Championship". The International Ice Hockey Federation has asked a special commission of experts to research if the tournament can still be held in Belarus and a decision is expected within days. The Czech Republic, where ice hockey is the most popular sport alongside football, finished fourth at the 2019 world championships. This year's tournament in Switzerland was cancelled because of the coronavirus pandemic. frj/lp
