Belarusian Olympic sprinter who sought protection in Japan granted Polish visa

Tsimanouskaya went to the Japanese police station on Sunday night and requested protection when she arrived at Haneda Airport, Adams said. Officials representing the U.N. high commissioner for refugees and Japanese law enforcement agencies are involved with the situation, he said. The athlete was under the supervision of “authorities,” Adams said, but he declined to specify which agency or country. Any criminal matters for potential investigation would be up to the police, he said.
