Graphic footage of the death of Belarusian protester Alyaksandr Taraykouski appears to contradict claims by officials that he was killed by an improvised explosive device he was trying to throw at riot police. Taraykouski died on August 10 during protests after President Alyaksandr Lukashenka claimed victory in an election widely seen as rigged. Warning: Disturbing images.
