Vorsin: World championship not to be boycotted or cancelled!

"There were rumours about a cancellation or boycott of the world championship for political reasons, - Pressball quotes Yauhen Vorsin. - We have received an official confirmation that the World Ice Hockey Championship will be held in Belarus. Please, do not ask any more questions about it. The world championship will be held in Belarus. The decision has been taken by the congress. It is not a question anymore."

European and American politicians and human rights defenders urged to boycott the world championship in Belarus or hold it in some other country. The competition should not be organized by a country that has political prisoners and violates human rights, they think.
