Leanid Marozau: “Today, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya’s Office was informed about the case initiated by the Lukashenka regime against a German citizen. Rico Krieger was charged under several terrorism-related articles, resulting in a death sentence after the trial.
We contacted representatives of the German Federal Foreign Office to share evidence showing that a foreign citizen in Belarus faces the death penalty.
Unfortunately, the Lukashenka regime continues to use execution as a form of punishment. In a civilized society, such treatment is unacceptable. However, as we see, the value of human life means nothing to this system. Political prisoners who are dying in prisons due to the regime’s policies are proof of that.
I sincerely hope that through joint efforts, democratic countries can save the life of a person accused of serious crimes on dubious grounds”.
