Boeing 737-8AS operated by Ryanair and making a trip from Athens to Vilnius suddenly changed its course while flying over Lida and landed at the airport in Minsk. This was motivated by a bomb threat, the plane was checked by the EOD team but no bomb has been found.

It turned out, one of the passengers was Roman Pratasevich, editor of the “Brain-damaged Belarus” (BDB) Telegram channel and an ex-editor of Nexta, one of the largest pro-democracy Telegram channels in Belarus. The Belarusian Ministry of Internal Affairs confirmed his arrest.

Before leaving Greece, Pratasevich said that at the airport in Athens he noted that he was being watched by suspicious people. One of them tried to take a picture of his documents, BDB reported.

Despite the fact that the plane was closer to Vilnius, its intended destination, Lukashenka ordered it redirected and landed in Minsk. A fighter jet was sent to escort the plane. “Belarus has defended Europe”, Lukashenka’s press service wrote.

Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya called this situation “a special forces operation” to capture the plane and Pratasevich. She stated that “not a single person flying over Belarus could be sure of their safety”.

Tsikhanouskaya’s team contacted Ryanair’s headquarters and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) demanding an investigation and appropriate sanctions, up to and including the expulsion of Belarus from ICAO.

Earlier, the Belarusian KGB put Roman Pratasevich on the terrorism watch list. In absentia, he was charged with numerous crimes, including inciting mass riots. Belarusian authorities have tried to have him extradited but in vain. In Belarus, Pratasevich could face the death penalty.
