  • Belarusian sports figures including several Olympic medallists have signed an open letter condemning vote-rigging in polls claimed by President Alexander Lukashenko and calling for fresh elections. Athletes including Olympic medallists and members of national teams were among the 363 to sign the letter published by Tribuna.com sports website on Saturday. The letter declared the August 9 presidential election claimed by Lukashenko as invalid due to vote-rigging and called for new elections held according to international standards. Echoing the demands of the opposition protest movement spearheaded by presidential candidate Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, the letter called for an end to police violence and the release of all political prisoners. It said that the signatories would show solidarity if any faced reprisals "right up to possible refusal to compete for the national team." Several Olympic medallists signed, including gold-winning freestyle skier Anna Guskova, two-time silver-medallist swimmer Aleksandra Herasimenya and silver-winning rhythmic gymnast Anna Glazkova. The Dynamo Minsk footballer Igor Shitov also signed, along with the head coach of the national freestyle skiing team Nikolai Kozeko as well as members of current and former national teams in sports including volleyball, pentathlon and swimming. Commentators noted the absence of top stars including four-times Olympic biathlon champion Darya Domracheva, who has condemned violence in a message on Instagram, as well as competitors in Lukashenko's favoured sport: ice hockey. bur-am/pb
