The UN Human Rights Committee on Monday expressed "grave concern" over the execution of Uladzislaw Kavalyow, whose case was under its consideration after he was found guilty in last year's subway bombing trial.
Mr. Kavalyow's family had complained to the Committee about his sentence, explaining that the young man had not received a fair trial.
“The position of the Human Rights Committee is clear - Belarus has committed a grave breach of its legal obligations by executing Mr. Kovalev [Kavalyow],” said the Committee’s chair, Zonke Zanele Majodina.
“Furthermore, this is not the first time - in 2010 and 2011 it also executed persons whose cases were before the Committee. We deplore these flagrant violations of the human rights treaty obligations of Belarus,” she said.
The Committee had asked the Belarusian authorities to stay the execution pending its consideration of the case. Such requests are binding as a matter of international law, the Committee said, adding that it would continue to consider Mr. Kavalyow's case despite his execution. //
