Garawski was supposedly a member of a special force acting on behalf of president Alexander Lukaschenko. He is on trial for the forced disappearance of three Belarusian politicians of the opposition. Garawski made said statements as he migrated to Switzerland, where his trial is therefore held. (KEYSTONE/Gian Ehrenzeller)
