The leader of the Belarusian opposition Svetlana Tikhanovskaya called today’s arrest of the founder of the Telegram channel NEXTA Roman Protasevich as a special operation of the special services of the dictator Alexander Lukashenko. Tikhanovskaya wrote about this in her TG channel.
“It is absolutely obvious that this is an operation of the special services to hijack an aircraft in order to detain the activist and blogger Roman Protasevich,” the leader of the Belarusian opposition wrote.
According to her, the regime endangered the safety of passengers on board and the entire civil aviation “for the sake of reprisals against the man who was the editor of the largest Belarusian independent Telegram channels.”
She recalled that Lukashenka’s regime recognized Protasevich as a terrorist and in Belarus he is threatened with the death penalty.
According to Tikhanovskaya, she has already contacted the Ryanair office and the International Civil Aviation Organization, demanding to start an investigation into the incident and take measures up to the exclusion of Belarus from ICAO.
“From now on, not a single person flying over Belarus can be sure of his safety. After all, the regime is abusing the rules of air traffic in order to capture those who disagree,” Tikhanovskaya summed up.
- Today, May 23, in Belarus, allegedly due to a message about mining, a Ryanair plane on the Athens-Vilnius flight was urgently landed. The founder of the largest Belarusian opposition Telegram channel NEXTA Roman Protasevich, who was on board, was detained.
