Belarusian athlete Timanovskaya says father under house arrest in Belarus

Belarusian sprinter Kristina Timanovskaya, now competing for Poland, disclosed that her father is under house arrest in Belarus, where she has not returned in nearly five years. The claim is unverified and appears to be part of ongoing political repression against her family following her 2021 defection. This highlights continued state pressure on dissidents and their relatives in Belarus.
