the graves and buried with them. the. president look a shingle consolidated his power through 2 controversial referenda in the midnight 190 s. good in 1960 fichter gooden charge chaired the central election commission but he turned against the president hoping to prevent look ashamed goes grab for more and more power. 1000 dollar bounty was paid for his murder as the key witness from the death squad tells that they were even given a reason why i had to disappear from north america running. about and shar pei later told us he had evidence that had come to power illegitimately. at the vote in 1906 or $97.00 had been rigged and could charge had the proof. of justice. later they told us we had to eliminate him.

because of this compromising material. and present ski are the most prominent victims of look at those regimes so far but they're certainly not the only ones every year a vigil is held in minsk for the victims any prospects for a democratic future disappeared along with the opposition's 3 leading lights. there's regret and a feeling of guilt if these people were stalled live bellerose would be a different place today. western germany yuri's the family lives in exile here his wife 2 daughters and grandchildren he's never seen. yellin as that is the eldest daughter

she works as a sales clerk she's the only one of the family to speak openly about their fate she came to germany a year after her father's disappearance this is the 1st elaine as a cairo has heard about the key witness his statement and the details of her father's death. of course it's hard to hear all this and see the gravesites not to mention to hear all about how it happened you'd have to have nerves of steel for that. but do those statements check out the council of europe in strasburg could pass the 1st judgement on that. christos readers and andre got to learn here the key witnesses statement polgar readers is a criminal defense lawyer from cyprus he investigated the politicians disappearances for the council 15 years ago got to learn is working on the cases today the council of europe tracks human rights abuses and keeps an especially close eye on bello reduce. the ability we have today to run an evidence against

investigation that iris seems very small that's a problem it's impossible for these abductions. to have taken place we thought. to put it mildly. of. your fish. and when i say very high your fee shows. my mind goes to the president. maybe he knew maybe he didn't i can't say for sure either way but i think you know. as serious as the allegation is it can hardly touch alexander lukashenko this president was not welcome in the west for years that changed in november 2019 when

austrian president alexander fandor belen received the dictator in vienna but the recent accusations that lucas ordered the liquidation of his adversaries may well strain any reproach me with the west. a great deal about the death squads activities remains unknown even after your. statements he claims to have simply passed on the gun used the commander colonel from the interior ministry did the shooting. has something to say to the victim's family. i'd like to express my sincere regret that i participated in their murder. i apologize to you. who can point out the grave sites on the mount because. everything else depends on you and our brother a c. and justice system.

these words of remorse may come as a shock to some family members. on the hook to kill can i accept them. it wasn't what i thought they'd chosen people for the liquidation who didn't have any families in bellary loose. so they could eliminate them afterwards as well. most of us last thing to me out i'm surprised that a witness has turned up who speaks openly about it. who did. give a good up close. it took. some time to find words for the man who had abetted the murder of her father. if in your. view will you sit so it's not about him. it's about the whole system behind him and he said what he says he

can't be blamed for anything and up you move people like him are dependent on the system because they're forced to carry out his bloody crimes. even if i were to say something to him i couldn't say it to the thousands of others who acted together with him recently mr borden. the abducted men haven't been forgotten elsewhere in europe. in. the netherlands human rights activists from amnesty international have planted trees to commemorate them and an hour long vigil is held every year in the memorial grove in leipzig the witnesses' statements are producing results the state prosecutor in minsk has reopened the 20 year old case an investigation is underway.
