International Pressure Mounts Over Missing Belarusian
Supporters of Belarusian opposition activist Anatol Kotau are calling for an international investigation following new claims that Russian authorities may have been involved in his disappearance. Appeals have been directed to the United States, Poland, the European Union, and the United Nations to help determine what happened to the activist, who vanished last year.
Kotau, 46, disappeared in August after traveling from Poland, where he had been living, to Turkey. According to relatives, communication with him stopped shortly after his arrival, raising concerns about his safety and whereabouts.
