KEIV: Airlines re-routed flights to prevent Belarus’s airspace on Tuesday along with Belarusian airplanes faced a potential ban from Europe, as global outrage mounted Minsk pushing a jetliner and arresting a dissident writer aboard. Western countries accused Belarus of hijacking and piracy across the interception of their Ryanair plane as it spanned the state on a trip from Greece into Lithuania, and diplomats said France, Ireland and Estonia would increase the episode in an exclusive meeting of the UNSC on Wednesday. “The behavior of the Belarus program is bizarre, illegal, and totally improper…,” Canada PM Justin Trudeau told reporters.

Lufthansa, KLM, SAS, Air France, LOT and also Singapore Airlines were one of the carriers who declared they’d quit flying Belarus. A movie released immediately revealed Roman Protasevich, 26, ” that had been hauled out of the passenger airplane following Belarus chased a warplane into escort it into Minsk on Sunday — compared to getting ordered anti-government demonstrations. German Chancellor Angela Merkel said the movie was”about” and explained the forced landing of this jet “an unprecedented and improper act”. Exiled Belarusian opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya reported the footage revealed Protasevich was tortured. “He explained he was treated legally, but he is definitely defeated and under stress. There’s absolutely not any doubt he had been tortured,” she explained. In the movie released immediately, Protasevich may be observed sitting at a desk in a dark hooded sweatshirt. “I will say that I do not have some health problems… Police officials are treating me correctly and according to the law,” he states, adding that he had”admitted to organising mass protests from Minsk.” His company Sofia Sagega, a Russian citizen, who can even face criminal penalties, Russia’s foreign ministry stated.
