Swiss court acquits Belarusian 'death squad' member on kidnapping charges

Yury Garavsky admitted to being part of a group that kidnapped opponents of Belarusian President Lukashenko in 1999.
A Swiss court found Garavsky not guilty of enforced disappearance and perverting justice, saying his precise role was unclear.
Garavsky had previously told media he followed orders but denied killing anyone.
Human rights groups brought the charges and vow to keep pursuing justice for the victims and families.
The incidents happened in 1999 but the court case concluded on September 28, 2023.
