 Despite the conviction, Zavadsky's body was never recovered and the circumstances of his disappearance and ultimate fate were not explained.In addition to Zavadsky, Belarusian authorities failed to determine the fates of leading opposition figures Jury Zacharanka and Viktar Hanchar, and businessman Anatoly Krasovsky, who also vanished in 1999 and 2000.Belarus came under international criticism and human rights monitors regarded the behind-closed-doors trial and convictions as flawed.
