Former Belarus ‘hit squad’ member on trial for disappearances – BBC News


Twenty-four years after three prominent opposition figures vanished in Belarus, a former member of the country’s special forces has gone on trial in a Swiss court.

Yury Garavsky is charged with the forced disappearance of the three men.

He was arrested after confessing he was part of a unit tied to the abduction and presumed killing of opponents of the country’s authoritarian leader.

Now a Swiss judge will decide whether he is telling the truth.
