AMSTERDAM, March 12 (Reuters) - Prosecutors at the International Criminal Court on Thursday said they had opened an investigation into acts of deportation allegedly committed by Belarus.

Belarus is not a member of the ICC, but the case was brought by Lithuania, which is.

Prosecutors determined that at least part of the alleged crimes by Belarusian authorities were committed on Lithuania’s territory, giving them jurisdiction.
