Jul 19, 2024, 02:43 PM
A German citizen, Rico Krieger, has been sentenced to death in Belarus. Krieger, a former military doctor for the Red Cross in Germany, was found guilty of six charges, including terrorism and extremism. The Minsk court delivered the verdict in late June, accusing Krieger of illegal actions with firearms, disabling transportation or communication routes, and participating in an extremist formation. Krieger, who was born in Berlin and worked as a rescue medic for the German Red Cross, has a minor child at home. The sentencing has sparked calls for increased sanctions on Belarus from German officials.
