Experts from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) have effectively completed a probe into the death of Belarusian opposition journalist and human rights activist Oleg Bebenin, a spokesman for the OSCE Belarus office said on Thursday.
He said the experts would not issue any statements or meet with the press and would leave the country within the next couple of days.
"They will later draw up a report for the OSCE Secretariat," he said.
The two experts from Norway and Sweden arrived in Belarus on Monday.
Bebenin, 36, was one of the leading figures of the human rights organization Charter97 and ran its website. His body was found in his summer house on the outskirts of Minsk in September. Police said he hanged himself. However, his family and colleagues have suggested foul play.
The journalist was abducted in 1997 by people in masks and threatened over his articles. In 1999, he was almost beaten to death by unknown assailants.
