Photo: Sb.by The authorities in Belarus are now ready to put a German citizen who was found guilty of “terrorism” in June to death, state-run news outlet Belarus Today reported on Monday. Rico Krieger, a former German Red Cross employee, did not plan to appeal the verdict, according to Belarus Today, though that information could not be independently confirmed. Although the sentence has now legally come into force, no date appears to have been set for Krieger’s execution by firing squad.
