Apparently the EU critisized Belarus for sentencing the Metro bombers who killed 15 people and had no motive.


  • Is it right to sentence these people to death?
  • Should ANY European country practice capital punishment - not even Russia does anymore?
  • Is the EU hypocritical to critisize Belarus, a non-member, while not commenting on the fact that hundreds of Americans are executed for much smaller crimes?

The supreme court in Belarus has sentenced two men to death for bombing the underground railway in the capital, Minsk, earlier this year.

The attack on 11 April killed 15 people and wounded hundreds of others.
Dmitry Konovalov, 25, was found guilty of carrying out the explosion and Vladislav Kovalyov, also 25, of assisting in "an act of terrorism".
The two men will be executed by shooting in the only nation in Europe still using capital punishment.
They were also found guilty of involvement in three earlier bomb attacks in 2005 and 2008, which together injured more than 100 people.
"The court believes that [they] pose an exceptional danger to society and thus require the ultimate punishment," the judge told the court.

The two convicted men were described as 'explosives enthusiasts' without political motives
