LUHANSK (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 16th June, 2021) The evidence of Roman Protasevich's involvement in killings of civilians in Donbas, gathered by prosecutors of the self-proclaimed Luhansk People's Republic (LPR) and Belarusian authorities, will become the basis for an appeal to the International Criminal Court and to the European Court of Human Rights, LPR Prosecutor General Sergey Gorenko said on Wednesday.
Earlier in the day, Gorenko said that the involvement of Protasevich, a co-founder of the Nexta Telegram channel, labeled as extremist in Belarus, in the use of prohibited means and methods of war was confirmed.
