Associated Press reported.
A group of four German lawyers said in a news conference that they filed a complaint against Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko and state security forces with the Germany Federal Public Prosecutor's Office in Karlsruhe on behalf of 10 Belarusian dissidents who said they were tortured.
Two days before Victory Day, which marks the 1945 defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II, Lukashenko dredged up Germany's own human rights violations under the Third Reich, saying, "Who are you to judge me? They are the heirs of the generation that unleashed that war."
