Two Belarusians convicted of carrying out a bomb attack in the Minsk subway, killing 15 people, were sentenced to death on Wednesday.

Dmitry Konovalov and Vladislav Kovalyov were found guilty of detonating an explosive device at a subway station on April 11. The blast also injured more than 200 people.

They are to be executed by firing squad. The date of their execution has not yet been set.

Belarus remains the only European country that allows the death penalty. Last year, two people were sentenced to capital punishment and executed.
