A court convicted and condemned to death: Dmitry Konovalov and Vladislav Kovalyov, both 25, for terrorism.
Some in the courtroom booed loudly...shouting that the trial was a disgrace.
Only President Alexander Lukashenko has the power to grant them a reprieve from a bullet in the back of their heads...but he said he believes the former factory workers should get the 'strictest punishment'.
Amnesty Intl. believes both confessions obtained...were forced and false.
