A human rights non-profit says that 10 out of 15 Russians competing in Paris have breached the code by indicating their support for the war on Ukraine
Protesters march in Paris on Saturday in memory of the hundreds of Ukrainian athletes killed since the Russian invasion Global Rights Compliance , a non-profit specialising in international humanitarian and criminal law, says that 10 out of 15 Russians and seven of 16 Belarusians competing in Paris have breached the code by indicating their support for the war on Ukraine or through their links to their militaries.
Jeremy Pizzi, legal adviser at GRC, said that from a “moral viewpoint” it was “unconscionable” to ask Ukrainian athletes, some of whom may have experienced the killing of friends, family or fellow athletes, “to share that space with athletes who have expressed support for these kinds of actions”. Mr Pizzi said his organisation had approached the IOC with its findings at the end of May. Despite an initial response on 19 June acknowledging the group’s concerns, he said the IOC took no action and failed to respond to several follow-up communications.
