    Anatoly Krasovsky is one of many Belarus dissidents to have vanished under Europe's 'last dictatorship'.

    Jerome Taylor, The Independent

    Irina Krasovskaya last saw her husband on the afternoon of 16 September 1999. The couple shared an apartment in the Belarus capital Minsk and had agreed to spend the evening hosting a belated birthday celebration for Irina with coffee and cake.

    "It had been a busy week and we hadn't had the time to celebrate," she recalls. "My husband phoned to say that he was going to go to a sauna with a friend before coming over to the apartment, so I packed his towels and brought them to his office. I went home to prepare the cakes but we never heard from him again".

    Irina's husband, Anatoly Krasovsky, was a successful businessman and a close friend of Viktar Hanchar, a prominent opposition politician who had become a fierce critic of the Belarus leader Alexander Lukashenko. As the pair drove back from the sauna down Fabrichnaya Street, their car was forced to a halt and they were dragged into the street; their bodies have never been found. They are just two of a host of dissidents who have disappeared under a regime which has long held the dubious title of being Europe's last dictatorship.

    Dear, dear...

    and to think that both were killed due to their business activities is not permissible? :)
