26 year old Feyisa Lilesa, Olympic marathon runner from Ethiopia
As Lilesa crossed the finish line to win a silver medal, he crossed his arms above his head in an "X." This is a gesture made by the Oromo people who have suffered brutal police crackdowns.
Explaining his actions, Lilesa said: "The Ethiopian government are killing the Oromo people and taking their land and resources so the Oromo people are protesting and I support the protest as I am Oromo. The Ethiopian government is killing my people so I stand with all protests anywhere as Oromo is my tribe. My relatives are in prison and if they talk about democratic rights they are killed. I raised my hands to support with the Oromo protest."
When discussing his own safety he stated, "If not kill me, they will put me in prison. I have not decided yet, but maybe I will move to another country."
