Belarus accused of passenger plane “hijack” to seize dissident
From the BBC World Service: Western countries have condemned Belarus for diverting a plane flying over its territory to arrest Belarusian journalist Roman Protasevich. European Union leaders are due to discuss their response, including possible economic sanctions, today.
A woman stands with a poster reading "Where is Roman?!' in the arrival area as passengers disembark from a Ryanair passenger plane from Athens, Greece, that was intercepted and diverted to Minsk on the same day by Belarus authorities, after it landed at Vilnius International Airport, its initial destination, on May 23, 2021.
