The Washington Mystics have been well known for their advocacy of social justice issues this year. Both they and the Washington Wizards have are organizing voter registration drives ahead of the American federal elections on Nov. 3.
Regardless of the outcome of various elections, especially the presidency, political opponents and their supporters are not at risk of being jailed for just that, at least to this point in modern American history.
But in Belarus, it seems like that people are being jailed for supporting the opposition. And a former Washington Mystics player is currently incarcerated for that.
