It became known about their execution during the consideration by the Supreme Court of the country of the appeal of two other criminals who were sentenced to death, but they decided to appeal the sentence, writes “Currently,".

During the testimony of one of them said that he spent on death row for four months.

“I was sitting on death row, whose sentence had already entered into force. From May 15 to 16, Mikhalenya and Letov were taken from the cell,” he said.

They could only take the convicts out of the cell to carry out the sentence, since one of them had already completed the appeal process by refusing to change the verdict, while the other did not file an appeal.

Michalien was sentenced to death for the murder of two retired neighbors in March 2016 in Narovlya, Gomel region. The body of an 59-year-old pensioner was found in the courtyard of a private house, and in the basement of the room was found the body of his 61-year-old sister. He has previously been tried for theft and murder.

Letov was sentenced to death for the third murder, which he committed in the penal colony of the town of Glubokoe, Vitebsk region, where he was serving a sentence for two murders. Vitebsk Regional Court sentenced him to the highest penalty in September 2017. In October, the verdict was approved by the Supreme Court, Letov did not appeal against it.

Belarusian authorities do not report the execution of death sentences. This can be learned from the testimony of other suicide bombers or from human rights activists who communicate with the relatives of those sentenced. Neither the date of execution, nor the place of burial is reported to relatives.

According to the latest data, currently 4 people are still waiting for the execution of the death sentence in Belarus. Belarus remains the only country in Europe where the death penalty is applied. Over the years of independence (since 1991), more than 400 people have been shot in the country.

In February, the EU 2018 once again called on Minsk to impose a moratorium and once again received no response, writes “Currently,".

In 2017, Alexander Lukashenko spoke at the official opening of the annual session of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly in Minsk, and responded to the calls of the Council of Europe as follows: “We are called upon to abolish the death penalty. We hear suggestions. But no state can go against the will of the people, the overwhelming majority of whom voted in favor of its use at the referendum.”

Total death penalty is applied in 22 countries of the world. Most death sentences are carried out in China, Iran, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and the United States.

In 90, 281 people were executed on behalf of the state in Belarus. The peak fell on 1998 year - then 47 prisoners were sentenced to death.

Over the next decade, the number of “departures,” the way authorities tell relatives and lawyers that a sentence has been carried out, dropped significantly. The maximum number of executions occurred in 2006 - 9 executed. In 2017, 5 death sentences were imposed.
