So a Belarusian journalist who was travelling between two #EU 🇪🇺 destinations is now back in #Belarus against his own will after KGB operatives basically hijacked the plane and forced it to land.
This is not just a grave violation of human rights, it is also an act of aggression against the European Union. They hijacked a plane full of EU citizens and forced it to land in another country, against the will of everyone on board
All of this was planned in advance. KGB operatives knew Roman Protasevich was going to be on a flight that would go through Belarusian airspace. they've probably waited months for this opportunity

Ein Präzedenzfall.

Es handelte sich um einen Flug zwischen zwei EU-Staaten (!). Belarussen sind also selbst im Exil nicht sicher, so die Nachricht. Eine solche ruchlose Aktion muss Konsequenzen haben.
