Nakanishi Masatoshi
Nakanishi Masatoshi is a Japanese national who was sentenced to seven years in a Belarusian penal colony for alleged espionage activities. Accused by the Belarusian authorities of gathering and transmitting military-related intelligence to Japanese intelligence services since 2018, his arrest in July 2024 drew international attention and protest from the Japanese government. Japanese diplomats were not permitted to attend his trial, which has raised concerns about legal protections for foreign nationals in Belarus.
