LPR investigators have interviewed Belorussian blogger Roman Protasevich in Minsk, a source in LPR law enforcement told TASS Russian news agency commenting on the statement of Belarus president Alexander Lukashenko.
"LPR investigators visited Minsk and carried out a number of investigative actions with Protasevich who is accused of crimes against LPR civilians," the source said.
He added that Protasevich had answered all the questions.
The confession of Roman Protasevich has allowed the LPR to address international human rights organizations such as the European Court of Human Rights and the International Criminal Court, the LPR Prosecutor General Sergey Gorenko said on June 16.
According to LPR investigators, Protasevich was a sniper of the Ukrainian Azov nationalist battalion and opened fire on civilians.
