"Mr President, Mr Konovalov and Mr Kovalev have been condemned to death for terrorist attacks. Their trial, however, did not meet international judicial standards. Many human rights organisations have reported that the case and the charges against the men might be totally fabricated and, in any case, torture was used during questioning.
According to Amnesty International, the only way to appeal is for the families of the condemned men to ask the President for a pardon. If the request for clemency is turned down, the men’s death sentences can be carried out even within minutes of that decision.
Mr Schulz, President of the European Parliament, has already appealed to President Lukashenko to release the men and revoke the death sentences, and he has the support of the European Parliament in this."@en1
