Krystsina Tsimanouskaya went to the Tokyo Olympics to represent Belarus at the world's biggest sporting event.

But the dramatic end to her campaign has triggered a diplomatic dispute.

The sprinter says Belarusian officials tried to force her to fly home when she complained about her coaches.

As Tsimanouskaya's case unfolded, a Belarusian activist in Ukraine, Vitaly Shishov, was found dead in a suspected murder.

So what do these two incidents say about human rights in Belarus?
